Past Events

This Joshua tree is sculpted out of fibers and bits of packaging, brochures, gift bags, etc.—all marketing materials that get used once and then thrown away. Reuse of these fibers helps their original sources (like a tree) to live on. This recycling warms my heart.

I choice to make a Joshua tree for the obvious reason, but also, because the name of the exhibit is Call of the Wild. What better fits wildness, than this Who is insane tree.

I have been asked by The Thursday Club to exhibit my art at their monthly member mixer. Honored and excited! Will be taking 12-15 framed pieces, including three abstracts using mixed paints. New for me, and loving it. Always happy to revisit my passion for recycling bits of wasteful marketing fibers into my art.

As part of an art/cultural exchange the La Canada Sister City organization is sending art to exhibit in Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain during their San Ysidro festival, 10 days in May 2024. This is a great honor to be asked by the jury to send artwork. My artwork was chosen to show some California’s coastal subject matter.

Polar bears are losing their habitat due to loss of ice floes.

A vertical chasm depicts this brokenness in nature’s ability to sustain the environment needed by the bears. Metallic envelope mailer bits are used to depict cold and ice.
