Ready for the show

I've made two more pieces to finish up the number I need for the Art Sistas show at the Galesburg Community Arts Center, June 2 - July 15. I'll be exhibiting six animal or bird pieces with unusual backgrounds and five landscapes. The square artwork uses a photo my friend Sheila took of a squirrel eating a cookie that I overlaid on a tile wall photo from Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italy. It includes some sections of an expense ledger from the 1800s. The landscape is from a photo I took along the Atlantic in Portugal. I've added in some sections of a vintage world map into the boardwalk and vegetation.

Camino memories

I've made two pieces that are evocative of my walk on the Portuguese Coastal Camino route this spring. They each feature ceramic tiles of designs found on buildings in Portugal, the arrow and stylized shell used to mark the Camino route, and photos I took along the Atlantic coast. Each is 10"H x 20"W x 1.5"deep on a wooden panel. Filtered photos cut into strips, handmade papers and colored pencil.
