new work in progress

solo exhibit - the year of the eclipse

apologies,

I haven't been posting here in the longest of times.

Of late, I've been mostly posting new work and events on Facebook.

I'll be having a solo exhibit at my gallery in Santa Fe at the end of September

You can see the new work in the exhibit here.

job (why do wicked men sometimes prosper?)

it's been a very long time since I've done a collage - this one, for how simple it appears, took a surprisingly long time.

Many of the pieces in my last exhibit were about breath and breathing.  This piece has that theme, as well as wondering about some of the perplexing questions about faith.

daguerrotype painting - young woman with a wistful smile.

I love looking at old photographs - tin types, daguerrotypes, cartes de viste.

It's like a window into the past.

I didn't quite capture the wonderful subtle smile on her face…..

I'll try again at some point
