What's New on My Etsy

I know I do a variety of different art pieces and hopefully I do them well. Paper arts still seem to be my favorite draw. With hundreds of different techniques and thousands of different products (I am sure I have one of each in my studio) I am able to experiment and create pieces that hopefully bring pleasure and delight to the eye. Its amazing how much I have grown from the first time I sat at my kitchen table and created my first ATC over 3 years ago. I have since defined my own style, migrated up to traveling to different workshops around the country and even landed a teaching gig with some fabulous women in CT. This is from a chick who used to be scared to fly. I still am a little but I will drive somewhere. (chuckle) I have met some fabulous people and engaged in the most interesting adventures and conversations. I neatly pack all of this in my art memories, so that years from now I can reflect back and say I really came to life with that one ATC.
Take a moment and check out my etsy site. More items are added often.

The Romare Bearden Experiment

I have always been facinated with collage work. I think one of the best was Romare Bearden. His work had so many elements and each time you see a piece you find something you didn't see before. He was amazing. I only wish I had had the opportunity to meet him. I believe we could have had a good chat. Anywho, here is a piece I fashioned after his style. Sorta my little take on Romare. If he's watching hope he likes it. Title: "Her Fragile State","Fried Dyed and Laid to the Side" by Kimberly

Snow Play

Did I mention that I really don't like living in a 4 season state? Well I don't. Simply because this year we have had over 20+ inches of snow in the last week and a half. Ugh!!!!!! I am really ready to move to a warm climate. I am really reaching that point. Between getting stuck in the house and sinus issues. I think I'll risk the rattlesnakes and move west. (smile).
Well, now that I have vented. Here's what I did while I was snowed in. I love vintage photos and work with them more than I paint sometimes. So I created some funky backgrounds and added a some vintage beauties to start a series of Diva Pages. Its amazing what boredom can produce. Enjoy!

Hey, I decided to give my blog a new look. Let me know whatcha think.
