After three weeks of being very busy: attending my high school reunion, enjoying company from Kansas City and Durango, making a trip to Newport Beach, CA to attend a graduation and award ceremony for a very accomplished niece, I’ve been able to be in the studio again!

Below are my newest prints. In today’s lingo, you may confuse a fine art “print” (a one of a kind hand pulled print) and a giclee “print” (a reproduction of a piece of artwork in a limited edition). The artwork below are one of a kind original paintings I did then transferred to fine art paper. They are called Monotypes (one of a kind).

You will be able to meet me and see them in person if you visit my studio during the Silver Thread Studio Tour in Creede, CO August 16th. Or, at my exhibition for the month of September at the Creede Hotel!

The first five prints are 22 x 30″ unframed
The last two prints are 6 x 10″ unframed

These are my latest creations. Some are ready for framing, but the two smallest, the bright orange pieces, of the Bosque in New Mexico I’ll complete this week. Enjoy! Contact me if you have questions.

I assisted Stephen Quiller (www.quillergallery.com) in his water media painting workshop this past week at the 4UR in Creede, Colorado. Amidst the hubbub of assisting the attendees and Steve, I was able to participate some and work on a few pieces with his techniques. These are a combination of casein, acrylic, and gouache. The 4UR is an idyllic ranch with a five star restaurant, staff and views. I had a great time being there and meeting new friends!

This is very much like Steve’s demonstration painting, but it does have my own marks and style present on it.

This is a painting of the Bosque Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, painted from reference I took when we were there in March. Below are a few shots of the workshop on the 4UR.

One of a kind images. My work from January & February. As of now, these are unframed, but I’ll be doing that soon. They range in size from 22×30″ to 6″x6″. Click on photos for details and to click through the slides.

On September 18th, the Creede Arts Council held their 2nd Annual Steamroller Event. Below is my printed woodcut, available for sale through the CAC auction website. (I also have one available for sale). One half of the proceeds goes to the Creede Arts Council and the other half to me. There are other artist’s prints available for sale as well from that event.

My print, titled, Mountain Cottontail, 24″ x 36″ (image size), black ink on tyvek, $225.00

I was so pleased to sell these two pieces today to a patron who has purchased 6 other pieces from me over this past year. They are decorating a newly built home in Durango which I saw photos of today and the large piece (Ute Trout) will take center stage in their contemporary, light filled living area. Thank you, thank you!
