Fiber/Textiles. Woven baskets, pictures, nature jewelry
The fiber art and jewelry for sale at the festival are nature-based, utilizing natural elements and featuring birds and other animals. The pine needle baskets are woven in colors that complement the semi-precious stone woven into the base. Much of the jewelry features stones I found at rock hunts, polished, and made into the jewelry or pine needle baskets and pictures. Nature jewelry includes images of birds or other animals made as close as possible to the actual animal. I have also woven, knit or crocheted various types of yarn into light-weight shawls and made nature images by quilting. We have just moved to Arizona, but at the New Braunfels, TX Art League I won 2nd or 3rd place in the 3D category for my jewelry at almost every show entered.

I will be selling unique handcrafted art made from hot glass using a variety of techniques that include the lost wax method, molding and casting, sandblasting, and fusing. The pieces are sometimes cold-worked with various wet saws, grinders, drills, and other equipment into finished pieces. On occasion, some pieces may be combined with different materials for a mixed-media effect, and may include vintage items. My collection features wall hangings made of glass, dichroic frames, cast figurines made with specialty glass, tabletop glass pieces with stands, and seasonal glass decorations and other small items suitable for gift-giving. I have been selected to appear in several juried shows over the years, such as the Glass National 2017 in Lorton, Virginia, the National Capital Area Glass Guild Artists and Makers Show 2017 in Rockville, Maryland, and the Glass National in Lorton 2015 in Virginia. These shows were all juried for selection by highly regarded and recognized glass artists. I have also been a visiting artist at the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun in Tucson, Arizona in 2017 and, more recently, had a work accepted in the Dia De Los Muertos Show at Tohono Chul Gallery in Tucson in 2019.

Mixed Media, Wood
I create colorful paintings on hardboard that are representative of the Southwest. The process consists of layering and scraping over and over. It is a technique I developed while building furniture for 25 years. I finish the original paintings with 3-dimensional frames that become part of the final image. I also sell giclée prints on canvas that I hand frame and finish with alder wood.

Printed polyester tablecloths are heat-treated to allow for easy cleaning and the woven cotton is Teflon-coated to protect with spillage. The designs are typical of the South of France but blend beautifully with the U.S. Southwest style and colors.

Painting
Located in the amazing and beautiful Sonoran Desert on the western edge of Tucson, AZ, I use the inspiration around me to create bright, fun and simple art. Inspired by birds, flowers, plants, landscape features and all things from the nature around me, I use my paintbrush to add an extra pop of color and a bit of humor to make people happy. I work primarily in watercolor but in vivid saturation perfectly complemented by black ink to further release the colors. I love fun, bright, happy, whimsical things and I believe my desert subjects benefit from my interpretation of them.

All metalwork designs are my own and range from animals to landscapes. The process for creating them consists of the following: drawing out a design onto card paper; cutting out the design; stenciling it with paint onto 14-gauge metal; hand-cutting the design with a plasma cutter; grinding it to a smooth finish; and bending the final product for a 3D effect. As a final addition, I hand-paint all pieces so that they are unique in color.

Glass fusion, wall art, modern Southwestern
I start with large sheets of glass, 24 x 48 inches. I then cut from each sheet according to the design I am doing. Following this, the sheets are fused back together in a kiln. A lot of pieces go back in the Kiln for a second firing for further manipulation of the shape. I sell a range of items, from smaller functional pieces to large wall art. My artwork has been featured in major magazine publications and I have won numerous awards at art shows, including Best of Show.

Painting, original fine art oil paintings
It is said that every picture tells a story and that is what this collection is all about. Each shares a story about the many beautiful features of the Sonoran desert and mountains of the Southwest. They look at the history of Tucson's architecture through its first homes in the Barrio Viejo. In a still life subject, a moment is captured to explore and study the relationships of objects, light, and space. These paintings invite you to share a journey through color, texture, and light. They incorporate the tenets of Impressionism fused with expressive color and texture.

I am inspired by the Bauhaus slogan that beautiful objects belong in our everyday lives. The objects I create on the potter's wheel are situated on the line that separates functionality and decoration. The medium of clay allows me to explore the meeting point between the modern aesthetic and ancient Japanese, Zen-inspired styles. Inspired by the natural world, the essence of my work is expressed in the simplicity of the form and the spontaneous movement of the flow of the glaze.

Located in the amazing and beautiful Sonoran Desert on the western edge of Tucson, AZ, I use the inspiration around me to create bright, fun and simple art. Inspired by birds, flowers, plants, landscape features and all things from the nature around me, I use my paintbrush to add an extra pop of color and a bit of humor to make people happy. I work primarily in watercolor but in vivid saturation perfectly complemented by black ink to further release the colors. I love fun, bright, happy, whimsical things and I believe my desert subjects benefit from my interpretation of them.

As a final addition, I hand-paint all pieces so that they are unique in color.

Photos Milkyway Nightscape
I photograph the night sky, mostly the Milky Way with unique foreground scenery. All photos are printed on metal (aluminum). I feature the night sky in the American Southwest—a series of long exposures taken at night in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and California. Photographing the night sky is a passion I just can't get enough of and I have been photographing scenery of this kind since 2016. Being out at night (mostly by myself) is incredible—sometimes fun, cold, scary, exciting; always inspiring.

Mixed Media 2D & 3D, Southwest, Wall Art
I create three-dimensional wall art original designs depicting southwest architecture of pueblos, cliff dwellings, and westerns. I use a free-form approach layer by layer, starting with a wood base and texturing with a stucco-paint mixture to represent rock and adobe finishes.
