"Summer Sunflower"
Who doesn't just love sunflowers! They are truly my obsession, if you hadn't noticed. My latest sunflower is composed of re-purposed wood covered in paper and paint, carved and painted wood pieces, shell casings, wood buttons and a shiny red glass lens it brightens any room. It measures 27" X 27" X 2.5". It is currently on exhibit at Delurk Gallery in Winston-Salem until July 30th (see the Events page for details). It is available for purchase for $175.00

"Blue Bonita"
"Blue Bonita" is a mixed media flower I created from reclaimed wood and metal objects measuring 20" X 19" X 1.5"
The carved petals are secured to a round piece of wood which creates the flower center. A meet grinder disk forms the flower center, with a button in the center. Pieces of a vegetable steamer basket are painted silver and secured with white upholstery tacks around the flower center. The petals are painted a pale turquoise with a turquoise accent and a yellow painted center.
"Blue Bonita" is on exhibit at my studio and is available for $80.00

Flowers in the studio: Work in progress
I often work on two or more pieces at once. In between working on "Birds on a Branch" I have been working on this multi-flower piece I have yet to title. It is almost done. Below are some progress pics. Stay tuned for a picture of the completed piece. If you'd like to see more progress pics, check out my Instagram and Facebook pages.
Birds on a Branch: Work in progress
The carved pieces are my favorite pieces but they do take longer to create. When I started working on this piece I had envisioned two birds on a wire. But as I worked on the piece I ended up going a totally different direction. I ended up cutting the wood that I originally painted for the base and incorporating not only a branch for the birds to sit on but one above them. Stay tuned to my Instagram and Facebook pages for in-progress photos.
"Nebula"
Inspired by a friend's love of astronomy, I created "Nebula" from reclaimed wood pieces and one decent size piece of wood left over from my father's cabinet making projects. It is composed of paper, paint, wood, and metal. It is on exhibit at my studio and available for purchase for $125.00.
