welcome to my blog!
I post art that reflects my current interests. I started this blog with the intent
to record my art process. at the time, I made journals and filled them with
collage and writing . then I wanted to learn to paint my own images
instead of one from magazines. I learned acrylic painting all along,
I incorporated bits and pieces of paper. for a while now, I have been
fascinated faces. I have drawn, painted, collaged distorted faces in
countless ways experimenting on various mediums. I don't see this ending!
recently I have added some figurative work and am excited to see
where this will lead. I know all of you have moved
through different stages, growing, learning and incorporating new techniques
and mediums. I love to see other peoples processes and am grateful for
the online community and social media for this reason.
I view art inspiration and post daily on instagram. there I have
found it a friendly and welcoming community. i also post any
art related thoughts and outings that I may have come across here on this blog.
i hope you enjoy!
my local art center, in palos verdes, california is
having a charming elementary school children's exhibit
sponsored by art at your fingertips.
i participated in this program when my son was in school.
artists submit a project based on a concept or artist
and volunteer parents from each school learn the project
and then teach it to students at school
this augments the art or lack of art education
in the schools.
it also gives parents a chance to have hands on experience
in the classroom as well as providing art concepts
to young children.
my experience was that children
were eager to learn
artists were eager to share and create a project.
on the day i visited the gallery
a classroom was also there.
I had a chance to overhear the teachers ask wonderful questions
which reviewed the art concept and also made it personal
for the students. i was very impressed and smiled as
I snuck a listen and took pictures of the art.

only in southern california!
it is a three day holiday weekend here in the united
states. I hope you have fun plans with loved ones whether
you live here or not! I am lucky enough to have my son
and his fiancé here so it's an extra special time for me!
thank you for visiting today!
