working with a sewing machine

I've been using this great recycled paper and gluing some prints onto them and then working with a sewing machine to frame or draw into them.  I love the way the prints look on recycled paper.

Paintings on Cardboard

I started Grad School and got into my studio down here at Brooklyn College.  I've been really busy reading philosophy (ha) and working on a tedious piece (images in the future).  My outlet has been small colorful paintings on cardboard.  Here are my favorites...

Studio time

I'm happy to be in the studio these past few weeks working on xerox paintings, water colors, and even some glass paintings.  I've had a lot of time lately and it's given me an opportunity to explore a lot ideas that have been stewing for awhile.

"1 shot" paint on glass.  I did this one with a quill painting on the back of the glass.  I've never done anything quite like this but I'm really happy with how it came out.  I love the design that book ends the skull,
