I'm a visual #artist in Wyoming with a background in economics, nonprofit work, intl (MENA) + religious studies, and ancient history (a wide range of interests + expertise). I'm looking for kind and considerate pals that enjoy me sharing artist opportunities, how to's, and of course, #art itself.

The rule with NOAA, 90% of the time - people won't notice until a natural disaster hits and then when emergency warnings fail or are too late - you'll really wish we hadn't defunded NOAA.

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

#MakersmARTch theme for Mar 16 is #Collage.

"Evolutionary Ladder" 24 x18. Won the Mixed Media Award at a Juried show at the Whitby Station Gallery in 2019.

@bsky.art

Mixed Media Collage work incorporating drawing, paper tole,chalk rubbings, acrylic paint, watercolour and dimensional paint. The background is made up of a collage of images from magazines and hand-drawn art over ripped up watercolour and acrylic paintings. Background is full of small plants, flowers and trees, with all sorts of life including animals such as parrots, horses, cats, an ant in amber, sheep, birds, amoeba and more along with photos, drawings and rubbings of plants and the double helix (DNA) created with dimensional paint in various colours scattered around. The focal point of the work is, in black and white, a large rope ladder emerging from the bottom centre, that morphs about halfway up into a large double helix. There are a pair of human hands reaching up from the bottom, climbing up the rope ladder from behind the bottom layer of brown paper, images from magazines of rock and dirt, and cardboard in shapes resembling several ranges of mountains, with black edges and metallic gold rubbed on them. Scattered over these mountains are tiny painting of fossils.
