This started to be a tirade about Black Friday, but, you know what? People find their joy and purpose in all kinds of weird things, and if shopping for a TV at the crack of dawn gets ya up and out into this beautiful day, then go for it – just be careful out there! Crowds make me twitchy, so I prefer to be in the Studio finishing up these two new – er, “dimensional paintings.” I like the description. They’re painted on stretched canvas, not strictly collages, but they have dimensional surface applications. Titles are Copper Mountain 1 & 2, and I’ll show these next Friday as part of my La Vida Gallery opening. I’m still experimenting, but so far, so good. Feedback? Better yet, come to La Vida on the 6th and check them out in person.
SHARDS: fragments and reflections

These paintings look very interesting, can’t wait to see them in person.
Thanks, Terry Gay – I hope you can come – I love your work and treasure your comments!
These are Amazing, I wish I could be so motivated and talented!
Lyn,
I couldn’t agree more with you as far as “black friday” goes. The studio is where I will be. Wish I could view you paintings in person but the distance from central Minnesota is a bit more than I can do… so online will have to do.
I invite you to take a look at my latest work that has your influence penetrating it. You have brought out another language of art in me. Thank you so much!
Fantastic!
I’m new to your work, and recently bought some of your shard faces on Etsy. Just want to say I’m a huge fan already! Love the dimensional paintings, and am working on something similar myself, which is a new medium for me (I “normally” make handmade, mixed media jewelry). Can’t wait to see more, and wish you were closer to me so I could take classes (I’m in Illinois).
Jean, thanks so much! I do have an online class on a site called Roses on My Table – the class is about making your own press molds and faces for use in jewelry and mixed media.
