silhouette inspiration

I've been in-love with silhouettes since the 2nd grade. It was my teacher, who first introduced this type of art to me and had me hooked ever since. However, its only been recently that I have had the courage to use them in my current work. I am still in the exploration stage of this so we'll see where it goes. Here are some images that are sparking my creativity. I will post photos of my work when they are complete. 

Fleur De Lys (in store window display by me)

This is a window display of my current work in an amazing store called Fleur De Lys (in Costa Mesa)! Josephine and Shannon (the owners) are two incredible women who are extremely supportive of local artists. Together they have embraced me and my work. I am truly thankful. 

A nest of birds in her hair......

3 panels 24 x 36 each mixed media on canvas (commission piece)

A little of this and a little of that......

Once upon a time long, long ago, Lily the bird was the most beautiful of all birds. Her feathers were brilliant and her voice! Her voice was even more beautiful than her feathers. When she started to sing on top of the big tree all the other birds stopped to listen to her sweet song.

bigger isn't always better......

New smaller work. Each piece is 12 x 12.

Finished and Glazed

My last post was an insight into my studio space and new ceramic work I am doing. Here you see my new pieces glazed. Pure and colorful.

Where the Magic happens......

My studio, a blissful mess (you know there is such a thing) my mess and in this mess I see no mess.  Ideas, inspiration, completed thoughts are really what lies in this "mess." Above is what I have been currently working on. Paintings too, I will add photos of those soon.
