Holly and Gilda



Two New "Potty Art" pieces. I've always wanted to paint Holly so now I have. This is Gilda #2 she was so fun the first time I had to paint her again. Not exactly the same of course.

WaHoo!


FOUND 2 :: Artists Transform Objects Discarded as Waste and Save Them from Becoming Landfill
In keeping with many EARTH DAY celebrations around Los Angeles, we invite you to see recycling in action.

Join Us for Our Second Saturday Art Walk :: Saturday, April 12, 2008 :: 7-10pm
Do Your Part to Save Mother Earth !

The artwork in our "FOUND" show exemplifies a state of mind -- a way of looking at an "obsolete" object from a new perspective and reinterpreting it so that it transcends its original and no longer valid function. Our FOUND artists have transformed the ordinary into the beautiful. They've collected discarded resources-- used, abandoned or recovered materials, and given them another life. Our delight in FOUND art is in the PROMISE it communicates. The results entertain us with newfound ENERGY and FLAIR!

In keeping with many EARTH DAY celebrations around Los Angeles, we invite you to see recycling in action. Over 30 artists have joined to demonstrate use of wood, paper, cardboard, newspaper, plastic, glass, tile, metal, aluminum, steel, concrete, wire, toys and more. Come see how our FOUND artists have transformed objects discarded as waste and saved them from becoming landfill.

"Trippy Trippin Triptic" /Sold



This is my piece for the Cactus 333 show next Saturday. Yea..... Thanks Liz for buying it and Sandra for selling it!!!!!!!!

This was a fun piece. I cut the wood and put some sides on it. Then varnished it with shellac a few times. Then had them on my work bench outside and was thinking "What the hell am I going to paint". Then WAAAAAA from the sky the sun moves and lays the shadow of my hanging planter on it. I thought it was so beautiful. Wow, what a gift!
