small, but mighty!

What a kick to see my little self-portrait collage hanging in the Triton Museum! I think it is the smallest piece in the show, but she manages to hold her own in that huge room. I am just thrilled.

I find it ironic that the title of the piece is “Unimpressed”.

The show runs June 26 through September 12, 2021.

poster child!

What a nice honor to have one of my self-portraits selected to be on the postcard for the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts annual women’s show. This is an international call for entry juried by Donna Seager and Suzanne Gray of the Seager Gray Gallery in Mill Valley.

Check out www.ohanloncenter.orgfor entry deadlines and show information and of course, www.seagergray.com for awesome art.

Thank you, Jeremy Thornton, for the striking postcard design.

I usually like to work large and wildly gestural, but with all the turmoil of 2020, I just couldn’t muster the exuberance.I felt the need to work smaller and more controlled.

The result is a series of geometric paintings, fourteen in all. I wanted to see how far I could push the color, choosing brighter, more saturated hues than I normally would, and packing them into tight spaces. 

Here are a few of them in visualized spaces. They are 18x18 inches, mixed media on cradled wood panel.  The last image is a quadriptych of the four.
