And.....Next Up.......Chalk Art!

Hello again,

I am super-excited to be competing in a Chalk Art Festival!  Each participant is assigned a 3' x 3' space and must bring their own chalk, brushes, and water.  It's coming up towards the end of August.  Right now I'm planning out my design. 

Here are a couple of doodles that I've rendered on fabric:

You can see how the fabric causes the lines to spread a bit, creating a softened look.  I like how the shapes seem to almost become three dimensional. 

So here's an other project that you should definitely keep an eye on through my blog.  I'll be back soon with more ideas for my chalk art!

Water, Water Everywhere

Hello to all ~

I'm excited that one of my new pieces, a four-foot mobile made with upcycled materials, has been accepted into a new show.  The show is located at Spectrum Gallery in Southern Connecticut, and it features the work of local and national artists who incorporate images and symbolism of water in paintings, photographs, and mixed media pieces. 

This, from the gallery director - “Over 70% of our globe is covered by water which is a necessity to life as we know it, and here on the shoreline that could not be more self-evident,” notes Barbara Nair, Gallery Director of Spectrum Gallery. “This show, the largest since our launch in 2014, exhibits some of the ways we engage with water, from its scenic beauty to its diverse recreational opportunities. It honors the beautiful environment we are so lucky to live in and must maintain.”
