Additionally, I have some excellent news to share: I was recently notified that both You Decide. and Woman No. 3 have been accepted for inclusion in the juried show, "Animals" at Colors of Humanity Art Gallery.

Woman No. 1 and (Lots of) Other Art
Woman No. 1, paper collage, 2021. I haven't done a bulk art post in awhile, and it occurred to me this morning as I was adding some new listings to my Etsy shop, that I have quite a backlog of collages to share with you--including a few experiments and small successes. First, I chose Woman [...]
You Make Me Real
Some are oblique Some can only be seen in the lips and tongue. Movements of the eyes. the angle of a mouth. the two being as an internal body as they traverse connect with the same superficial atrophy A few fun facts about this poem-collage combo: the text comes from a single page in Gray's [...]
The Eventuality of Letters (Lovers)

There are only diamonds.
There are Only Diamonds, paper collage, 2021 I feel as if I've been neglecting the blog a bit lately. My apologies. The truth is, though, that I have been creating at a rather feverish pace.
