Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my new blog! I have been contemplating creating a website for...well...way too long now. Since most of my artwork has a story behind it and sharing that story feels like an important piece of the process, it seemed like a blog was a very practical way to 'show' my work.

Most recently, I have created a series of mixed-media collages that are based on a series of oil paintings I've played with for the past several years. Each painting was an exploration for me into the world of the Sacred Feminine goddess images from various cultures and faiths as well as an opportunity to play in a medium I had never used before, i.e. oil paint.

I plan to post each pair of images - the oil painting and its accompanying collage - with their respective writings over the next several blogs. Enjoy!

If you'd like to see any of these pieces in person, the series of collages will be on view at Artlink's Pushpin Gallery, 437 East Berry Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana from July 16 through August 8, 2010. The series of goddess oil paintings are on view now at Conrad and Ilene Satala's office waiting room, also in Fort Wayne.

Thanks for visiting and more to come!!
