Lots of texture in this interesting and layered collage on paper. I love how the black mat sets it off. Ready to frame and just listed in the shop
I’m combining digital with vintage here by using a print of a digital collage and incorporating it into an encaustic collage. Techniques that are centuries apart but blending together beautifully
Continuing with my explorations with encaustic with this new collage. Just listed in the shop

Mixed Media Painting
My creative story starts with a disaster...
I have always loved art, loved to paint and draw as a child. In college my major was Art History, such a lovely way to study about history through the eyes of artists of each time period. But alas, practicality edged in and I combined my love of learning and sharing and became a teacher. For 46 years I was an educator--a classroom teacher, an owner of a center for dyslexic children and adults, and the last 26 of my career…a dream job. I was a school librarian for a small country school in the foothills of beautiful Santa Barbara. Books, teaching, children. Nothing better. In June of 2015 I retired and have returned home to my art.
But the disaster....in 2008 my house burned in a raging wildfire. Somehow I managed to grab a few boxes and in those boxes were seven old photos of myself as a child. All the other pictures burned, all my family photos of my parents and grandparents, along with those from my childhood. But there were those seven. When I recovered from the disaster--I now live in a lovely little place on a street lined with Jacaranda trees, (a much safer location, I might add)--I began thinking of those photos and it seemed they needed to be “honored” in some way and I thought, why not combine that idea with doing something else I’ve always wanted to do--art.
I started with one, the one of me in a hula skirt at age four, and it was so healing, not to mention fun, that I kept going and then found myself searching for old photos and vintage ephemera, wanting to combine them in interesting ways.
My studio is a small one as befits my art. When I am working, the world falls away and when I come back to it, I am refreshed. I love the search for the materials I use in my art almost as much as the creating. Old photos spark stories. What was happening the moment the shot was taken? What was in the photographer's mind? And why has this photo found its way into my hands, now, to be made into art? I love the beautiful, careful script on old papers, such a contrast to our quick and busy communications today. Each of my pieces is a story made visual.

International orders shipping USPS First Class International do not include delivery confirmation or tracking.

Sometimes international shipments are held at your local post office for pickup (not just dropped at your doorstep), so please be sure to check there if you are waiting on your order... often they forget to leave you a note.
