The Spirits Inside

The photograph was taken with my iPod Touch in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you look closely, you can see me in the image. I painted the border of the piece to resemble the door in the photograph, and stamped it with one of my hand-carved stamps.

$150.00

This is an original mixed-media painting that combines one of my original photographs printed on canvas, and acrylic paint on canvas; sealed with polymer varnish.

The piece is signed and dated on the front. The sides are painted so it can either be hung as is, or framed.

I approach creating these mixed-media pieces much like working in my visual journals. I have no preconceived idea of what the outcome will look like or exactly what I’m going to do. I just start working and see where it takes me, adding paint, collage & photos, sometimes sewing, sometimes printing or stamping, until I know the piece is finished.

The copyright watermark is not on the original artwork.

(Note: I do my best to make sure the color looks accurate, but, everyone’s monitor is different. So the color might look different in real life than it does on your computer.)

• 12″ x 12″ x 3/4″

• on stretched canvas

• sealed with polymer varnish

• This comes from a pet friendly, smoke-free environment.

    Bessie's Sweet Memories

    $100.00

    I took the photograph with my plastic Holga camera in downtown Lawrence, Kansas. The special effect was created while taking the picture. I titled this piece "Bessie's Sweet Memories" because Bessie Clancy was handwritten on the sheet music "Sweet Memories" that I collaged as part of the background. 8" x 10"

    Remembered

    $150.00

    The picture is part of a mausoleum gate in the cemetery across from my house. I find the ironwork on it very beautiful. This is the family mausoleum of John P. Usher, who was President Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of Interior. 12" x 12"
