Happy Earth Day

In honor or Earth Day, I am showing some of my artistic recycling. I am a collage artist, putting bits and pieces of recycled materials together into these handmade books. I enjoy recycling, reusing and renewing things into meaningful treasures. I often give these books as gifts for birthdays, or in this case, I created 8 books, packed with meaningful tidbits and treasures as Christmas gifts to my 8 brothers and sisters. After losing Mom a few years ago, I have become more attached to things, and meanings, and family, and life, and memories...and treasures. Take a look at some of my treasures. The photos ended up with the last post, so they are directly below this. Enjoy!

Sharing my gift



















Surf's Up


My newest mural painted for a teenage girl looking forward to summer!



This was so much fun and some of my favorite colors to paint!


Finished this up this weekend-a request from Vonda-her Dad liked to watch the hummingbirds!





Watercolor and ink "For Tyson"

"The deep blue sea spoke to me.
It was holding back a mystery.
A dolphin took me by the hand
It wanted me to understand
that in life there is more to behold
than bags of money and pots of gold.
Believe in yourself and you will see
How happy and free you were meant to be."


Topiary I painted for a school play-


Fun painting for Prom theme...."Evening in Paris"
