Happy New year all. I am thankful for having gotten to immerse myself in much making but have been slack in the sharing and documenting. I think the pandemic and the lack of external activity has caused me to fully jump inwards… and sometimes it’s hard to get back out. Here’s a little gallery of some works from the end of 2021. Last year was slow, my 2019 had been roaring along to come to the stand still of my show I march 2020 that never opened (despite being hung for an audience that never was to come.) Looking back on 2021 and the most positive accomplishment for me was to make it onto the Washington State Art Comission’s Art Roster. This is a pre approved list for organizations to come to and scope out the artists for public projects. I am so grateful to be included in this list and now hoping to be picked. ok now for some art … these pieces are part of my whole technological takeover and loss of nature. so these are simulated environs which I'm imagining through an 80s video game lens. more to come!

Come one come all- Bemis Fall exhibition 2015!!!

I will be showing my Recycled Landscapes and look forward to seeing you down south.
Come down see some art, meet some artists, maybe even take a piece home?!

Recycled Landscapes
Recycled Landscapes, create you own scape.
Initially these were started creating the spaces in between trees, the color of light hitting through trees and creating a glow. Then they became line obsessed color palettes which when covered in resin looked like they should be installed in someones kitchen back splash. Now they are just a relaxation with nothing else is pressing on my mind.
This is my 6x6 size they fit into my modular collage realm of creating your own Scape with pieces I supply -Interactive.
They are all made from my recycled landscapes discipline of using rubbish photos to create new, abstract landscapes, innerscapes, outerscapes somewherescapes. After being covered in individually cut pieces, and I haveI fit the puzzle together the whole thing is covered in jeweler's grade resin (non yellowing.)
I would like to see how someone else would hang these
