No matter how often I'm in the city, I'm still in awe of the skyscrapers. That abstract hitch in your balance when you're looking straight up amid them…

Made of acrylic and metallic copper paints, a vibrant silk weave, dyed corks, cottons, and woven grass papers

No matter how often I'm in the city, I'm still in awe of the skyscrapers. That tiny hitch in your sense of balance when you're looking straight up amid them, or looking straight down from above gives that tiny visceral shiver.

This artwork is created from acrylic and metallic copper paints, a vibrant silk weave, dyed corks, cottons, and woven grass papers

This piece is appliquéd with a mix of fabrics, decorated with Czech glass and aquamarine beads that shimmer like the light in the ocean, plus silk and rayon fibers flowing over the reef.

Every little bit is healthy for you. Each minute of doodling or sketching that you do is like a little candy for your soul.

I’m distressed by proposals to sell of public lands to industry. All efforts to save forests, grasslands, waterways, greenways, and marine preserves are so critical to our planet’s flora & fauna. It’s important to keep this conversation alive amid all the political and industrial chaos.

This mixed media artwork “Natural Spaces” explores our fragile protected parks using acrylics, banana and mulberry fiber papers, corks, metallic paper, grass paper, copper and turquoise beads, cherry and walnut veneers.

One universal truth about humans is we all need to dance and wiggle to music. These 3 mixed media artworks celebrate dance with acrylics, silk and cotton fabrics, and cork.

#art #BlueskyArtShow #HumansOfBluesky #dance #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #dancing #contemporaryartist #oc #moderndecor

This one-of-a-kind mixed media piece brings dancers to life, floating in 3D above the canvas.

Each dancer is handmade with cotton fabrics and heavy inerfacing then lifted into the air with tiny wooden pegs.

The background is a blend of organic cotton, a stunning silk textile, and acrylic-painted canvas. It’s all tied together in a beautiful wood frame with a metallic, mottled finish.

This mixed media piece is all about celebrating the end of the pandemic—because we were cooped up long enough! Time to get out and dance!

The artwork features beautiful Australian Aboriginal Fair Trade cotton fabrics and cork dancers, popped up in 3D with wooden pegs for a playful, lively scene.

It’s gallery-wrapped on stretched canvas and wired up, ready to hang.

A modern dancer pauses for one moment, while reaching for greatness.

September 2015 had a total lunar eclipse, known as a Blood Moon, coinciding with a Harvest Moon, the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. It was also a Supermoon, when closest to Earth.

My Equinox art uses cork, acrylics, grass papers, fabrics to explore autumn

#art #abstract #equinox #oc

September, 2015 there was a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon, that coincided with the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. This event was special as it was also a Supermoon, meaning the Moon was at its closest point to Earth.

This mixed media artwork emerged from thinking about the movement of the sun, moon, and planets, and their seasonal paths and changes.

That feeling you get when you've been cruising along, but you sense that all roads lead to chaos...
This mixed media piece is made from cotton fabrics, dyed corks, faux leather, woven grass papers, and maple wood veneer.

This mixed media piece is all about Texturalism—calming subtle patterns with a tactile mix of materials and textures. The gentle spiral design subtly pulls you in, tracing the golden ratio.
It’s made with cotton fabrics, tan and white woven grass papers, tinted corks, and wood veneers in maple, red oak, and walnut.

This mixed media fabric-based piece is Texturalism in action. It uses lines and planes to suggest shapes that shift and flow with the textured elements, creating a time-lapse vibe of a solar eclipse.

Created with red oak, maple, and walnut wood veneers, tinted corks, woven grass papers, and a mix of fabrics.
