'shrooms - in progress
some works in progress on some funky fabric mushroom patterns...
and here it is a little bit later in the day... i think its an improvement...
going back to school...
Happy. Nervous. Excitied. I've signed up for the Lilla Rogers e-course on "Making Art that Sells". What a great opportunity to learn from the top as well as freshen up my portfolio!
Its been 5 years since I've really sat down and made some art and now that my kiddos are 2 & 4, i'm feeling the urge to create once again. (Hence I took a recent printmaking class too.) It looks like there are some super talented students in the class which will really keep me on my toes. Class (finally) begins next week!
I made this little collage in preparation. It's a little bit of analog and a little bit of digital. I've never made anything like this before - but it was a fun process. Looking forward to more explorations in the next 5 weeks!
monoprinting on a gelli plate

I've been working on some artwork for wedding invitations and here's a sampling of one of my favorite hand drawn floral patterns...
riverfolk festival poster
i recently created artwork and a poster design for the riverfolk music & arts festival in MI. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
identity
i have some work exhibited in this brand new book: "How-Do-Everything-Adobe-Illustrator." I was honored to be asked to participate. Thanks Sue.
whose she?
I am posting this for this weeks illustration friday. For my mfa thesis (in may 2006), i created an exhibition with ten multiple personalities... if you click on WHOSE SHE you view (an interactive flash version of ) the catalog of all the "artists." I created all the artwork for each of the personalities. (I also designed the catalog and wrote all the copy.) Also, if you look carefully, all the letters of my (full) name create each of the 10 artists names.
