He stole the heart (the strongest one) / The one with wings that would have flown. He stole the heart (before it grew) / No note the harm deceit would do. He stole the heart (and sad to say) / Filleted its soul with fork and knife. He stole the heart (the one with wings) / But stronger souls can trump a King. Actual artwork is 12” x 12”. Mixed media mosaic, framed in 2” deep, distressed brown solid wood shadow box that can be opened. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use leather, brass and silver charms and hundreds of Czech and Japanese bugle beads.
pearls, cut out print of drawing, print – on plywood Last year I participated in a local benefit exhibition where the artists are given 12×12” blank plywood boards and we can embellish them as we desire. I wrapped a portion of one of my prints of my drawing “Autumn’s Child” (also within my RedBubble portfolio), on the board, cut out another one of it – and added pearls to create a 3D effect.

You’ve Got Heart is a 5” x 7” (artwork size) mixed media mosaic framed with a black shadow-box that opens. A heart doctor doesn’t deal only with the physical heart but the emotional heart as well. My doctor inspired this piece with his wonderful, warm care. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovski buttons and crystals, a huge deep red and gold dichroic heart, beads, silver charms and lots of Czech bugle beads.

Now I’m screwed if I need to bake a cake…
Assemblage based on a childhood book – ‘Heidi’, using sardine-tin, winged seeds, machinery part…..... I’ve recently started putting disparate objects together to experiment with conditioned influences in thew human psyche …....particularly how the feminine is viewed culturally.
Assemblage of found chair and found broken glass, the city (San Francisco) is full of wonder. This chair was created from the idea of: making the functional into something nonfunctional combining unlikely materials representing the urban environment – glass and steel, soft and rigid, harsh and comforting, functional and visually stimulating The chair began as a conceptual piece and happened to turn into something beautiful.
This piece was produced with a mixed material process on illustration board. I glued old, collected “Lucky Strike” packs to create the blue area, and the patterned red stripes. Then I added in selective areas of acrylic paint, dry brushing for an expressive effect. The skulls were brushed in with black ink and gesso, also the “pledge of allegiance” was written in only to be whitewashed over. Upon completing this work a little accent drawing was created on the computer. which helped to refine and finish the mixed material painting. The original dimensions of the piece are 19in. X 25.5in. It was completed in 2008.
This picture was made in 2006. The letters were crude, recovered from a sign on a building site. I’ve be kept in a metal box (box cakes) for many years telling myself, one day I will use it. I have made books. * / - Featured in the group DaDa Land
HOMAGE TO JAMES DEAN & THE GREEKS ASSEMBLAGE {2005}: Mixed-media on canvas, 24×36”, {Property of the Artist}.
This mixed media art is 9.25”x7.25” and includes a black shadow-box frame that opens. Oscar Wilde said “Hearts live by being wounded.” This piece is inspired by his understanding of love and pain. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovsky buttons and crystals, bugle beads, seed beads, rhinestones, silver, brass, embellishments, and a rich dark pink and silver dichroic glass heart.

I had these letters for a long time, 1990, if I remember well. They were well arranged in my attic. I knew that one day I’ll use them. And when I was invited to propose a work with the “Délires of books” ehbibition in Chartres with the topic “jeu(x), je…”. The puns can’t have sense with translation = “play(s) / I… . I knew that I was going to use them. I started with texts, poems more exactly, with puns too of course. / Then I’ve made photos, a lot of photos like a diary about the letters and the work in progress. After these photos are in the boxes as pages…
First and second series of photographs which I photographed with my “black cubes”.

With All My Heart Art is a sentiment any artist could use as their own personal motto. I’d be glad to share! Original artwork is a mixed media mosaic. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovski buttons and crystals, beads, silver charms and hundreds of Czech bugle beads. This piece includes digital design with the original beaded artwork.
this and the other glass piece were in a series of works I was making a few years ago exploring just what I can do with glass without recourse to fusing and slumping (which I don’t actually like very much). so its all ’’clean cut’’ , no grinding of edges, tho I do nip the sharpest tips. But if you tried hard it could cut you. Approx 35cm x 45cm
Enter 6 – The image on display is one of 6 keyholes. I like to think they are portholes into new dimensions. *(This image will be a made a larger size soon)
My representation of the inner working of the mind. How my thoughts can ascend outside of my understanding and become nonsensical. As they begin they are anchored by what I know at this very moment, but can rapidly transcend something completely different. *(This works will be increased in size soon)
AMERIKAN ADDICTIONS: What the title implies is self-explanatory. This piece is extremely politikal to me. I wrote an essay for it if interested. I will post it. Actually, it is included in my “Politiks of Modern Art” manifesto. At my first group exhibition several years bakk during the fall of late ‘03, this particular piece was one of two that I actually sold that night. Put it this way, my rent was taken care of for the next month. About 300-400 youngsters showed up and we had a blast. / / /
