Reflections Surprise, 2023
12in paper quilt square
Foil, tissue paper, found images, copper ring, fennel, small shells.
Created for a challenge on the theme of reflections, I am smitten with the little penguin walking through an abstract, reflective landscape, who is collaged with nesting materials including shells and seaweed (fennel stands in for the seaweed)
Ever Present, 2023
Mixed paper with redwood bark and gold ink.
12in paper quilt square
Somehow, this could never be a composition about adorable bunnies. Even while charming while grazing in a lush environment, a rabbit is forever alert to the dangers of predators. Here, both predator and prey exhibit their individual majesty.
This work will be on view at Arc Gallery’s annual “Cut to the Chase” Collage-A-Rama exhibition April 15-May 6, 2023. See Upcoming shows below for details.

In its sun-dappled watery home, an angel fish looks beseechingly upwards. Tear shaped drops evoke rain, as well as the ripples of light in a pool of water, emphasizing the urgent need for unspoiled aquatic worlds.
Watching the Seasons Change, 2022

12in x 12in paper quilt square
A cat, secure inside, regards the falling leaves and the view across the yard outside. There is a spooky house in the distance, the sky is cold, and the trees are bare. But there is a patch of sun, cozy lace curtains and a sturdy window perch. With lace, redwood bark, and gel-preserved Japanese maple leaves. The windy, wintery landscape hints at the winter solstice.
