Since my four 4×4 pieces sold at the Member fundraiser at CCMA, I delivered these (all 4×4) to replace them (one extra in case another one sells.) In the past, working small could take me about as much effort and time as the larger pieces, but I was able to finish these quickly. Enthusiasm for …
Here are a few of my art pieces on display at the Riverside Art Museum. Thanks to Mark Schooley for featuring these and also some beautiful work by Mary Gehley.

It may be that I have a short attention span, although I think my need to work in different genres and with different mediums …
I’ve been taking online art lessons in various methods of painting and collage. Here are some of the pieces I’ve produced in the last few weeks. The two long narrow pieces are 6 x 11 inches. Although the two with birches in them look the largest here, they are the smallest–3.5 x 5 inches. The …
I am a member of the Southern California Collage Society, and recently prepared a list of Resources for collage artists to be added to SCCS’s web page. You can find my list below, with links. If you have favorite resources you would like to share, please let me know. I’d also like to hear if …
