MOVIES

ABOUT ME
I'm a Collage and papermaking artist. I also teach and demo's on Collage and papermaking. I do outdoor fairs and I'm building up the courage to start seeking galleries. But I'm doing pretty good with the little local cafe and artist guilds and leagues. I enjoy my walks in the woods for meditation in motions. I have 4 teens still living at home 2 in college and 2 soon to be. The Homestead is a busy place and loving every minute of it.
My website is at mochahost
My personal blog is blogger

THINGS I LIKE
What is your Teaching Philosophy?
My philosophy as an art instructor is to help student understand making art is a process and that through the process they will be exploring, experimenting, evolving and honing in on their own visual perspective of the world around them. I strongly feel art is about events happening in our every day lives and to capture that emotion, sound, color, taste, texture and perspective of your view is what becomes the artist's challenge, to seek and express. So I hope that I can inspire my students to do just that.

THINGS I DISLIKE
people who complain alot, are negetive and gossip.

HOBBIES
Walking in the woods, resale shoppping, and hitting the dollar stores.

Newest piece posted, Flash Back, 36 x 48 Collage on Canvas, I have a question to ask.... I seem to create my work like a visual journal.  Things that come up or events that happen I seem to work through it.  I  can go back and look at an older piece and tell just what I was working through, Does anyone else seem to connect with that?  The only time that artwork will look the same is when I do a series.  But I have choosen to set a goal of making 12 large collages on canvas this year so I'm exploring the larger surface to work on and what I can and can't do so the work lately is very experimental.   I know that galleries like to see that you can produce the same quaility of work but I can't help but explore and expand.  Randomness coming out but comment are more then welcome.

Just complete a short but sweet presentation of what I do for the Alcatel-Lucent company for National Women's History Month(March) the small group there is called the Women's Leadership group and they asked my to come in and do a demo for them, this years them is Women's Art, Women's Vision.  I was a great Opportunity to share and make contacts.  Had the bus.cards some postcard and also some brochures of the classes I'll be teaching this next session.  Keep the art moving forward and keeping the name and work present in the viewer eyes.

Hi back!  I can see that we're kind of in sync with the breaking down of forms and simplification of shapes.  Thank you for your comments!
