Fun with Fabric

I am experimenting with fabric dyes. I am working in a large scale for an installation piece I am putting together and I thought it would be fun to use fabric dye instead of painting the backgrounds.











The first step is painting designs on the fabric with acrylic paint, then I mixed the dye with hot water and salt, dipped and rinsed. Just like tye-dying a t-shirt, except I dyed 30 ft. of fabric five different colors. Tomorrow I will paint into it and add accents.

Summer in the Studio




I'm getting ready for an upcoming three person show in November at the University of Tampa, so there is a lot going in the studio right now. I have an occasional studio visitor, she usually takes a few figs from the tree, we chat about art, politics, the animal's role in cultural folklore, and then it's back to work.

Art... To Go... at the Brevard Art Museum

I was chosen to be a part of this unique exhibition. The show will travel for two years to other host sites.
To view a slide show of all the containers in the show click on the link to the museum website:

Take Out, A Traveling Art Exhibition
Using the humble take out container as a jumping off point, a wide range of artists were invited to create artwork with few limitations. This invitational exhibition, curated by Jackie Borsanyi, allowed for artists of all levels to participate, from recreational artists to professionals. The one common denominator was the take out container provided by the Museum. The exhibition prospectus was distributed nationally. The wide range of responses demonstrates that though everyone started from the same beginning, each journey was unique.

PINNACLE: National Juried Art Show

This is one of the two pieces that were juried into the show at the Foster Tanner Fine Arts Center at Florida A&M University.

The exhibition runs June 5th through June 26, and the juror is Grace R. Maloy, Director of the Gadsden Arts Center. A closing reception is being held on June 26th.
