Bedtime Story

Bedtime Story

I have a new venue for my work! The Frame Company in Dublin isn't the flashiest venue, but the owner, Sawsan Wolski, has a big heart and great taste. She has 7 new altered book paintings of mine. Her contact info is (925)829-4777 and 7038 Village Pkwy, Dublin, Ca.

Rest

Rest
When I was little, up at my great-uncle's cabin, a friend got lost during a hide and seek game. Boy scouts at a camp up the mountain were called out to search into the evening. I remember my mother getting the news that she had been found.

Embrace, Purple Clouds

Embrace, Purple Clouds

I could paint this every day.

Halfway In

Halfway In
The challenge of relationships, one in, one out, one brave, one smart, both together but different, both pulling and challenging each other.

Deep Sleep

Deep Sleep

So much below the surface...

Tree Pose

Tree Pose
I always wobble when I do this yoga pose, but I love the open-armed feeling.

Big Black Bicycle

Big Black Bicycle
My favorite bicycle was a heavy Flying Pigeon that I used when I lived in China. I was much taller than the girl in this painting, but I sure felt small and vulnerable then, pedaling around Zhengzhou. It was a really turbulent year there. I'm not sure if that's what this painting is about, but the clouds in this painting feel like strong emotions to me.

Rowing

Rowing

You might think you know me, but there's so much under the surface. I don't have time to explore it all; I have to keep rowing.
