I realized recently that the way I photograph my work on a black background doesn't accurately convey the wonderful effect the shadow has when the work is framed between two pieces of glass.


​If you haven't seen my work in person you might not know what an important component the shadow is in my work.

"Les Uns Comprennent, Les Autres Ne Comprennent Pas" (2015)

I sold this piece last year to Erin S. of Seattle and she sent me a snapshot of it framed and hung on the wall. I always enjoy seeing my pieces in their new homes!

As I prepare to put together my new body of work, I've been "sketching"  a lot, creating new variations on my typical paper cutaway. This is a portrait of Frida Kalho I cut into 24 pieces.

Bizzarro Italian Cafe hosted their first "Bizarre Bizzarro Bazaar" today in Wallingford! 

There were many wonderful vendors selling jewelry, clothes, terrariums, jams, wine, and much more! 

I had my postcard collection and a selection of small cutaways up for sale. 

It was great to be part of this fantastic event at a place so dear to my heart.
