I entered two of my encaustic monotypes into the “Construct” show at Artserve in Ft. Lauderdale. My membership to Artserve will expire in Sept. It was last year’s birthday present to myself. I had been a bit disappointed by the “call to artists” that they had all year. I decided to be selective of how [...]

I just attended Shawna Moore’s workshop at the Jackson Hole Art Association. It was well worth the 5 hour flight from Florida to Salt Lake City, Utah, and then the 5 hour car drive through the farms of Idaho and then through the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. The facility was great. I found Shawna from [...]

During my last art workshop in Santa Fe, I learned a technique that everyone in the class came to refer to as “transparentized” the paper.

I have finally decided that it is time to build a website to showcase my work. I have been putting it off for over a year. I have designed many websites over the past few years and have decided that “I hate it”. As a former art director and graphics designer, one would think that [...]
