Amelia Series

I’m using this glorious week at the beach to begin a small (3) series of drawings on 10″ X 10″ canvasses. Gesso, water soluble pencil, pencil, matte medium. This is the start of SAND DOLLAR.

International Collage Exchange 2013

Yesterday I sent off my yearly packet of collages to New Zealand for inclusion in the International Collage Exchange.

Here are two of the 13. To see all 13 of the new pieces, click here.

Inspirations

I keep little arrangements around my studio of things I like…… items, textures, shapes, ideas.  This arrangement is on one of the “uncluttered by collage papers” surfaces  (there are very few of those).  I love this photo, and and now formulating a Nest/Home series in my mind.

Aesthetic experience

“The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.” 
― Ken Robinson
