Casart Coverings is a wonderful company based out of Denver. They do these fabulous wall designs and Lindsey Wood manages a decorating blog for Casart. Lindsey kindly included my artwork, 'Roxy' in her most recent decorating blog. I think this 'room' would be wonderful and I hope someone takes it to fruition! Thanks Lindsey!!
This is a great shot of Visions West Gallery during the HOWL show in partnership with the National Resources Defense Council. My wolf portrait is hanging on the left wall, in the black frame, over the bench. Don't you think it is beautiful!?! Love, love this sculpture of a wolf at the front of the shot. More pictures are available on the Visions West FB Page, looks like a great turn out, sorry I had to miss it.
When my father remarried, the newlyweds decided to move to Lake Tahoe. As a new family, we took a road trip from Texas to Nevada in a moving van, a really cool 1980's van with carpet and captain's chairs and a car. My Dad recruited his new father in law and a friend to help out, so off we went; 4 adults, 3 kids and 3 vehicles. Along the way we stopped in New Mexico. I was fascinated with all the turquoise jewelry for sale. I desperately wanted a chunky necklace or bracelet as a souvenir; I settled on a modest ring to fit my budget. Ever since, I have loved, loved turquoise jewelry. When I saw these turquoise beads last summer, I had to have them. I also really love the combination of all shades of blue with all shades of brown. I found the penny rounds with a hint of blue and brown just recently at a local tile store who was discounting unused merchandise. This dress pulls them all together. I feel as though the turquoise beads at the waist do get a little overwhelmed with the pattern on the dress and their placement, but hope that the viewer will take the time to enjoy the piece with several visits. I want the viewer to discover the turquoise beads sort of as a pleasent surprise and as the part that pulls all the other parts together.
These images are of 'Hope', a piece I created for the Masterworks Artist in the Garden Series. The piece was created in 2008 and shown in April, 2009. 'Hope' then went on to be shown at the Grand Opening of the Tuckers Point Hotel. She drew the interest of James Fews. James works at Aspen Re. James presented images of 'Hope' to Aspen Re and they decided to add her to their collection in Bermuda. When I delivered 'Hope' to their offices, James mentioned that there had been some talk of creating a catalog of the pieces in their collection. I recommended my friend Linda Weinraub for the job. These images were shot for the catalog recently. I can't wait to see the catalog in hard copy in the near future.
