My New Art Blog

Dear People!

On my/our friend Camille's advice, of four months ago,
I'm posting the art I've been making. These are from this summer, and I'll be posting more soon.

When I click on the images to enlarge them, they're gigantic. I might need to reduce the size of my original files. I'll look into that...

thanks for looking : )

















Cry Baby











Skirted Girl

I made this collage @ Jules' Coffee House in LaCrosse. It was a creative exercise from The Artist's Way (Julia Cameron) called Past, Present, Future.

The two girls remind me of me and my sister Michelle.

My Dad bought me a kilt from Lancer at the mall for my 17th birthday. It was a size 10, and I wore a 5, but I kept the 10 (maybe my mom's size at the time) and pinned it.














Joy

I was trying to make something happy in the Bodega, a very cool bar in LaCrosse. As I've mentioned, I highly recommended bar artmaking!














The Red Sea

This is made from random 1940s magazine words and pictures, and acrylic paint.

I crawled out of the water
imposed by a single lungful of air
the air to the diver's mouth
on the lung in such a way
yet always I rebelled against
the limitations of the middle depths
the diver's depth
I took our problem to the Red Sea

Mimi's Doll

I'm working on some collage paintings that incorporate her, my Dad's Mother's doll..she wasn't SUPER creepy until I flipped her over and accidentally knocked her eyes into her head.
