Received back the piece that won best in show. It didn’t sell, but I really love this print, so I am glad to have it hanging in my home. It is only 4″x4″ but I framed it in a mat that is 18″x18″. I love to work small, or very big. When I work “mid-size” [...]

I was up in a town called Minneola, just northwest of Orlando. It was a small event and I was doing a demo on my HOTBOX. I had made small monotypes, about 4×4 on rice paper. I framed a few, and since it was Valentine’s Day I thought that I would just give out a [...]
New Direction of work

I decided I wanted to work small in encaustics. That decisions has to do with space. The space I work in just doesn’t allow it. I noticed that I am always attracted to small works (less than 12×12) or very, very , very large. If you put me in a room with small, med and [...]
Works on Paper

I started to work today, but decided to work on paper first. Since I work on wood panels, I can experiment on the paper and then I can work on the panels. I actually like working on the paper. I just have to be careful and not put on too many layers of wax. Here [...]
Shawna Moore at Jackson Hole

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 [...]
Time to build a web site

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 [...]
new series

To keep myself focused, I decided to work in a series. I have many styles that I wish to explore and many times when I work on one piece, I get an idea for another piece. Sometimes within the same concept, but many times very different. Since this “bouncing around of concepts” has been frustrating [...]
new/old work

this is a piece that I did a few months ago at the Ghost Ranch in Abiqui, NM. I drink so much tea, that I was looking for unique papers to embed in my image and used the tea bags. The photo doesn’t pick up the unique patterns on the tea bag papers. Since, I [...]
