"mother's paisley dream"









acrylic paint on found object.

found this lovely madonna bust on wood paneling at a boot sale in denia. this piece has inspired me to paint more on found objects and scrap material. a great solution to my situation with stretchers.

"rue of whirl"





this new piece was a joy to work on. the white petals are a pattern from a memory of my childhood. i grew up in my grandmother's grocery store, i guess out of boredom my grandmother and/or my mother would doodle on paper to pass the time. i would see these patterns on cardboard boxes around the store.
