Expanding the Artifacts Collection: Echoes with three brand-new mixed-media works.
Two concentric rings encircling a center point—a motif as old as art itself. Whether you see tree rings, ripples on water, or a focal point for contemplation, there’s no single right answer. That’s the beauty of art.
Swipe to see the details and edges on each 8" wood cradle ➡️
Which motif speaks to you the most—1, 2, or 3?

wo more pieces for the growing collection. I've been playing with different layered substrates. The first one is artwork on a canvas panel that has been mounted to a wrapped canvas covered in one of my gel prints. I just love the colorful patina of this one. The second is a canvas panel mounted to a wood cradle.

Finished another piece today. I made this one direction but love the fact that with abstracts you can often hang them more than one direction. Which way is your favorite?

Who else likes to layer substrates when framing your artwork? Here I've started with an 8x10 floater frame with a wrapped canvas where I've experimented with a gel printing technique on tissue for a base layer of a grungy background. The collage was done on 140 lb watercolor paper mounted to a canvas panel. The collage pieces were all made from gel prints. What's your favorite way to frame your artwork?

This week I've been working on upscaling "Artifacts". This one was done on a 9x12 canvas panel. Any ideas for a title?

I've been in Studio B for a few days and had a bit of time to play with some fun gel printing techniques. The first one had a few issues that called for some doodling. I can't wait to see where this one goes! The second was an epic fail so I cut it up into leaves and circles...nothing wasted so I see some white pen mark making for my evening playtime. The last one turned out to be a beautiful background. I can to get back home and play a little more...or a lot more... see you soon!
