"More Than Tea Leaves"

What an exciting year this has been! My piece was accepted into the Experimental Artist's Show in San Pedro, CA. The piece is a collagraph on watercolor paper. I added leaves cut from black paper. Then I did an overlay with teabags sewn together and embellished with a stitched leaf pattern. It was also a thrill to go to the reception for this show in San Pedro. The symposium offered a three day session on digital collage. I was hooked. Digital collage- the next big thing.

In 2015, the show will be held at the Dennos Museum here in Traverse City. I am part of the on-site committee. If anyone is interested, this would be a good year to join and come to the symposium September 2015. I'll be there.

Waaaay Behind on Posting

Been gone from my blog, but that doesn't mean I have been resting. No, Sir! I have been busy with shows, selling artwork as you can see below, teaching classes, and making new work. I am currently represented at the Gaylord Center for the Arts and AuSable Artisan Village in Grayling. I will be showing my work at the Kingsley Branch Library from Nov. 12-26. A reception will be held on Wed. Nov. 12 from 4 pm- 7 pm. I will give a demonstration of collage techniques at 5. Also, all of my work at that show will be available for 30% off the original price. Just an early start on Christmas. I have been busy working on my largest project ever- a collage on canvas- 36" x 36". Picture coming soon. I also have been obsessing over my new found love- digital collage. More on that soon, too. And my son is working on a revamp for my blog. Stay tuned.
