This is #3 in my “Calypso” series. 19″ x 24″, watercolor and candle smoke on paper with sewn transparencies and iridescent thread on netting. I have been thinking of the Goddess and how beauty can be found when you look into the abyss and finally see yourself looking back.

Uninstalling my exhibit @evanstonartcenter today. As usual @alwongart captures images with his camera that I miss in the moment. I feel half bird half human here.

I am exhibiting two water colors from my “Lucid Dream” series as part of the @sfwa_artistsgallery show “Memories” in San Francisco. The opening is this Thursday, August 8th at 5:30pm. Would love to see you there!

This first painting in the series is finished! It is 19″ x 24″ and is made of watercolor, candle smoke and collaged and sewn transparencies as well as layered tulle. I have been integrating origami patterning with organic elements in my painting. Uncertain of this new work but feeling deeply like I need to follow it.

Here is a brief excerpt from my Artist Talk at Evanston Art Center this past Sunday in conjunction with my exhibit “Silent Music” up through August 11th. My comments were not scripted here so it was refreshing to hear myself speak candidly about what my work meant. There is what we believe consciously and then there are the inner workings. 😀
