Address: Attleboro Arts Museum

Thank Attleboro Arts Museum and Lennon Hernandez Wolcott for accepting this work. 

Accepted work: Orange Watercolor – Commando photozaic

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you see the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into the twilight blue.

Commando photozaic – statement:

How can I construct an image that moves beyond the surface? Photozaics, of course!  My award-winning Photozaics are inspired by where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This series I call commando as for me it’s liberating to see the photo dancing in sync with the frame.

Passports on Parade

I call it a scavenger hunt for artists’ stamps in the passport.  Why do this?  Opportunities to learn about the artist and their visions, see great art, and win $500.00 credit to spend on ACW artwork!  I know, AWESOME!

Side note:

My stamp is CheeBah approved!  Who doesn’t love a Corgi?? 

Below are some samples you will see this weekend.

I’m thrilled to announce these two pieces sold for a great cause!  These two lovely works Golden Gate Bridge and Hill is alive with color (formal photoziacs) future home is with Common Bond’s new The Lumin facility at 830 Cretin Ave, Saint Paul, MN.  This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Art to change the world, and I’m proud to be a task force member!  I’ve seen so much positive social change since joining back in 2020.  Below are the links to artwork for Common Bond and Art to change the world!  Join if you feel compelled, do not need to be local or an artist we have a diverse group of members with backgrounds ranging from artists, business owners, and educators just to name a few.

 I love projects like this one where everyone wins!  I can’t wait to see the faces of these women who come here and see they are worthy of great art hanging on their living walls.  I hope that some or all tenants find their creative gifts and will someday share them with the world.  So let us keep sending out positive vibes and continue to encourage others that they are worthy of a great life!

Pine Edged road matte less

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!
