If you are looking for a particular piece of
art by name,
I have a alphabetically referenced
[list here].
|
|
Ink Series
|
ABSTRACT INK SERIES: I love to experiment with
ink techniques and then bring out the images they
suggest with multimedia techniques. I have studied many
techniques and experimented for years with ink because
it yields the most intense colors and there are many
techniques for working with it.

Mexican
Festival Series
|
The Mexican Festival Series
celebrates the colorful, mysterious festivals held in Mexico
and in the U.S. by Mexican Americans. They are acrylic
generally large-scale paintings of individual or group
festival figures in which I try to convey the closeness of
life and death in Mexican culture, the amalgam of native and
Christian elements and the humor and joy in the
celebrations.

Wood
Pieces Series
|
IMAGINATION AND LOVE WOOD SERIES: Reflects experiments
with painting on wood using found objects like metal
pieces, mirrors, buttons, old jewelry and many other
elements with acrylic paint. Some are three dimension
and some two dimensional. This series reflects the power
of emotions especially love, can transport us as well as
the power of art.

Watercolors
Series
|
WATERCOLOR MICROCOSMS AND MACROCOSMS:
To me watercolor is the perfect medium for
imaginative renderings of tide pools, the cosmos, the
wonder of nature in very tiny or very universal ways.
For me it is a microscope and a telescope.

|
Pastels and Colored Pencil Works
Series
|
CULTURES AND FESTIVALS: PASTELS AND COLORED PENCILS: I
love rendering individuals and groups in colored pencils
and/or pastels. Sometimes i use multimedia in this work
as well.
|
|
Collages
|
SATIRICAL AND SHAMANIC COLLAGES: To me collage
involves any and all media and gives the most room for
the imagination.
I have studied with many fine collage
artists and learned from all to use collage to express
my own view of society and life: in "Hurry Up Please,
It's Time", for example, I convey the way we rush
through life in our society and need nature and leisure
to feed our souls.

passion for oils through several years of study with
Glenn Villppu, master artist and her recent show
"The Fires of the Soul" at the Cedar Street Gallery
