Art Candy

Shiny Happy People...

I just finished  the Stone Arch festival where I had the pleasure to meet an artist that does work that is the complete opposite of what I do. His booth was next door to mine and quite a display! The artist is Andy Van Schyndle and his website is wagalbagala.com

He does carnival surreal which is the flipside to my shiny happy people kind of work. At one point we thought that only a person with a split personality would buy something from the both of us. It's always fun to meet someone with a weirder imagination then your own.

Let Go

I thought I'd post a new piece that I finished last week just before the onslaught of the art fair season takes over my life. This image reminds me of my eldest daughter... maybe it's the blonde hair. She looks so relaxed. I have been in an uber girly flowery mood and can't seem to get enough of adding floral elements to my latest work. Maybe it is because it is still on the cool side in Minnesota even though it is June( summer needs to come already).

Minnesota Women's Press

One of my favorite paintings made the cover of a local magazine called the Minnesota Women's Press... I am so excited! They also did a very nice write up about my work. To read the article click on the link above.
