I wish the image were more defined. As I have mentioned before, the drawback to working larger is that I don't have the capacity to scan these pieces.
This one measures 18"x 24".
I would like my next investment to be a really good camera. It would be nice for each piece to be photographed in a setting, or hanging on my wall. They need to be featured, I think the flat scanned images are beginning to be a little boring. I am also thinking that a camera would help me capture some useful inspiration... See now... I am certain to talk myself into it...
Wish me luck in Omaha this weekend!
This card was fine, but the price circle was designed to just hang on the hook. It looks really cool, but the slightest breeze would blow it off the wall.
My new design has an additional hole on the card to accomodate the price circle attached with a brad. This should solve the price circle issue.
I have quite a few small pieces in my inventory. I was bothered by the size of the price cards next to the pieces that measured as small as 6 x 6 in. I designed a smaller price card for these pieces.
I had this idea to do three simple pieces with portions of the people represented. I wanted to sort-of zoom in on their hearts and let the words define each one.
"Am I Invisible? 5"x5"
It is a phrase that crosses my mind frequently... sometimes I feel that I am invisible, even insignificant.
"Don't Wait Until Tomorrow." 6"x 6"
What if tomorrow doesn't come? A realistic if not a pleasant way to look at the world and what you want to do with your life.
"Excuse Me, If I Will Never be the Same." 6"x 6"
She is offended by the expectation for her to just bounce back into who she was before when that person does not even exist anymore.

I love this show. It's held in a pretty park in Minneapolis. There are three big art shows in the Minneapolis area and art patrons are transported to and from each show via shuttle... Awesome!
I wish I didn't have to work so hard at it. As I strive to be happy and pain free, I long to be content with how I see myself both inside and out.

I know my art can seem sad, or even dark.
And as my boyfriend well stated: "People need to realize that each of your pieces represents a moment in your life. These moments could have occurred at any given time."
And to elaborate on his words: These moments were most likely brief, but a few may have been not so brief.
Junctures in my life that have been documented through writings and sketches so I would not forget.
They wait for the perfect photograph, or surface. They wait patiently for precious time found in the studio where I will revisit these glimpses when preparing to begin a new piece.
My point is that many times you are looking into a little window from a past moment in my life. It could have been days, months, even years in some cases, but in most it is a significant twinkle that has passed. No worries.
This piece measures 9" x 30" x 1.5". I wish it were a better scan. Scanned in 3 sections and put together in software, makes for a less than perfect result.

So many people just exist inside their little bubbles. They don't see the wrong in the world, or they do, but they deny its effect on them, refusing to see the big picture.
This piece measures 16" x 16" x 3/4".
