Vintage Images are ready for purchase!

I am SO excited! I have gotten through only some of my vintage collection and have three sets now available for purchase! Take a look at my ETSY store or email me for purchasing information!

"Mated"

This is one half of my entry for the Valentine show at darklight Art Gallery. Each artist is invited to submit two pieces, one for the more rosy side of love and one for the other side (the dark side, lol). This is my "hapy" piece which I named "Mated". I tried to convey that the crows in the trees were two souls that were finally coming together.

My second piece will be named "Hated" and will be dark and probably very gothic. I've started on it and have decided to make it a mixed media collage piece. I can do so much more that way than with just mere paint and this piece is one I want to really put some work into. I'll keep you posted on the progress of the second piece!

Studio in Progress

Here is the brand new studio space in progress. It's in the basement, and I know I won't particularly care for the "dungeon" atmosphere, but at least it's space and it will be my own. Before, I had everything stacked and crammed into my bedroom. Getting clothes every morning was a chore since there were about 10 rubbermaid containers full of my stuff blocking the way. I think my back will be thankful it doesn't have to move and then move again those heavy containers. The wine glass looking container thing in the middle is my favorite aspect. My fiance gave it to me (can't remember what for) and it was full of flowers. It was pretty neat looking. But, I've decided it will be my glistening catch-all for little trinkets and pretty supplies that I like to look at and keep in the open.

My fiance jokes that he knows no other person that looks at everything as either a new project or something to store stuff in for other new projects. I told him that was because I was the only artist he knew, lol. I'm excited about this new space, though overwhelmed with finally having my own "domain". I've always sat on my bed, lol. So, this should be a new adventure for me. When I get the goodies all set up, next will come my radio and TV. Gots to have some noise most of the time!!!!

Serenity

What do you think about the box? I love the whimsy of it. I'm thinking I might include it in a goodie package that I'm planning on sending a new friend of mine. I'm having a hard time getting my pics any better. I think I might have to break donw and buy a great camera one of thses days, instead of the cheapy Kmart camera I have now, lol. Hey, you know what they say about starving artists!!!

Enchanted Kingdom

I was in the Christmas spirit last night and as I laughed at Chevy Chase in the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, I made this little dandy. I'm having too much fun with these collages. I will be posting them for sale on Etsy in a bit. I'm lagging behind because I'm in the middle of moving my studio to a bigger (and quieter) part of the house. Is "quieter" even a word? LOL.....anyhoo, I will share some pics of the new space as soon as I get all of my precious junk moved!

Unique Nature

This is a collage I did yesterday as I sat around the house. I have to say, my favorite thing about collages is I can mess it all up! I don't have to be perfect, and in fact, it's only better the sloppier I get with them.
