Preparing for a 2024 gallery show


I'm making a series of birds/animals in front of unusual backgrounds for a show next summer. These are my recent pieces. The white egret has been placed over a digitally altered landscape, filtered, cut into strips and enhanced with gold leaf. The green heron was placed over a 1500's world map and has pieces of a vintage Rand McNally map added to the final layer along with copper leaf.






Experimenting

I made these 6"x6" gifts for my Art Sistas this summer. I used black and white illustrations of birds or animals of significance to each of them and combined those with photos and gold leaf.






Second Sista Show

My Art Sistas had a second show in the fall at the Macomb Arts Center. It was nice to see our art arranged in a different gallery space and meet people from Macomb who were unfamiliar with our art.
