The last three portraits, two brothers and a sister, I wanted to work together as a group, as well as individual portraits.  
I set them at three different times of the year, and three different times of the day, with a little something in each that reflects something about that child.

sfmoma artist gallery sale + "world of wonders"

it's that time again....
the annual sfmoma artist gallery warehouse sale.
it's a big fundraiser for the gallery, with work from 50% to %75 percent off regular prices-
I'll have several pieces there, including this piece, "bridesmaid waiting" (hope).

world of wonders (milagro) - 
mixed media collage on paper

here is one I made the night before I took the work over to the gallery - I like to stay up (almost) all night, sitting on the floor in a sea of pieces of paper and little bits of history.  I was smitten by this little bit of paper that from a tattered copy of "The Gentlemen's Magazine and Historical Chronicle, 1833".  I'm having a difficult time coming up with a visual image on what the belated counselor was actually doing.....I tore through boxes of snippets, trying to find the rest of the page, but no luck.

I couldn't figure out which way I liked the piece best, so I signed and titled it on all four sides,
who ever purchases it can spin it around at whim.

claire on television!

My work will be featured on an episode of the HGTV show "interiors, inc"
this coming up Saturday, March 17 (St. Patrick's Day).
I haven't seen it, but I believe there will be footage of my exhibit in Nashville plus a little feature showing my work in the home of the gallery owner Susan Tinney.
The promo reads.....
"the team redesigns a couple's family room to complement a favorite painting."
Curl up with your green beer and watch my few minutes of fame (and please, someone Tivo it for me - I don't have cable :-)
