New ABSTRACTS (waterways)

I have never been able to do “just one thing.”  That has been evident  if you look at my full resume...i.e. research/writing for a new bio-fertilizer company, fabric studio assistant, antique art print seller, waitress.  

The same is true for my paintings, they go from more realistic representational to completely abstract.

I love learning and going from one theme to another keeps me balanced.

Underlying concerns/thoughts/passion of it all is the environment and humans’ relationship (not such a good one) with it.  

These abstracts come from meditations on our waterways, what we dump into them from mountains to ocean, and how they are all connected. 

Dumbfounded

Recently I was asked to put paintings up in a restaurant as part of a neighborhood show called, "Evolution." These two apple paintings were included and got enough patron complaints, mainly that they "looked too much like a vagina or vulva" that they had to be taken down.

For one it is ironic the art show was called "Evolution".
Two, they are seriously APPLES.

Are people really that afraid of their own imaginations??????

Newest Edition

Yellow-breasted Vireo is the newest painting added to the Plum Elements collection.

Also I have some artwork at Theatre 99 during Piccolo-Spoleto alongside Nathan Durfee,
Johnny Pundt, and Trey Jaskiewicz.

Go look at some art! It'll make you feel good!
