Art Art Art

 I am excited because I finally enrolled in the Highway 62 Studio tours for October.  It will be my first participation in a art event since 2015 and after taking the much needed hiatus Feom shows feel that now is the perfect time to display my works again. 

My last major art event was one that I curated in San Dirgo with over 15 amazing artist but it was costly and time consuming. I spent more time organizing the even than I did creating my own art. This time people come to me and someone else is doing the majority of the promotions. This will be a huge burden off my shoulders allowing me to focus on creating new works.

My works will both be in surrealist photography and mixed media paintings on stretched burlap sacks from the Joshua Tree Coffee company. My main focus is on exploring the rough sketches in my journal and finding a way to create work that holds meaning rather than just a pretty pice of decore. The photography will most likely be a more personal exploration while I’ll return to my roots of textural expressions of my environment on the canvas. However, anything goes and it’s simply more important that I let go of my expectations in order to simply just make some art.

I finally found a use for the rabbit images I took so long ago and composted them into a nod to religion, Easter/paganism, the ideal of fertility that’s associated with marriage and feminism. The broken cottage symbolizes the faults with traditional home making social constructs.
