“Phantom Of The Moment” is a new ink and acrylic on wood panel that I created for a show at Push in Asheville next weekend but I will have an artist proof of an archival print available for auction at the preview party. So come by Friday night and put in your bid to take this cuddly little guy home.
Here’s a detailed shot of a new watercolor and ink piece “Angels Of Our Better Nature”. The original is for an upcoming show at Push in Asheville May 4th but I will have some prints of this with me this weekend at Crucible Glassworks, where I will be a guest exhibitor, so come on by and see me.
Looking forward to an exciting Spring Art safari as we will be joined by Illustrator Fian Arroyo, and Fine Furniture maker-Hayley Davison!! We will also be hosting a sample event from local Shanti Jun Elixirs on Saturday from 2-5pm. Come join the fun! Hot Glass-Blowing demos on the hour each day all weekend, and lots of new Glass Art to see!
The Fall Art Safari Preview party is tonite and I’m going to have my matted 11″x14″ museum quality print of “The Spirit Of Wisdom” available in the silent auction. Come on by and meet all the great artists have some tasty beverages, food and an amazing time. The party will be hosted at Miya Gallery, Mangum Pottery and Artisans On Main from 6pm-8pm…come and get some!

I create figures from cloth. My goal is to capture emotion in each piece. The costuming of my figures is simple, and intended to capture a sense of time and place. I often find inspiration in vintage photographs of women and children of the American South.
I hand dye most of my fabrics, often using botanicals. I also like to incorporate vintage textiles, favoring those that have yellowed with age. Old lace, handkerchiefs, and even curtains may find their way into my pieces. I use mohair locks from my goats for hair.
