Head in the Clouds!

hi! I am having my first solo show this month! The opening reception is on Thursday, April 10th, 7-9 pm after the mississippi ballroom fashion show! please stop by! Tony is DJing and the wonderful and talented Matt Deleu did some fabulous lighting on some of my art pieces. It will be a fun night! "Head in the Clouds" will be up for the month of April at BLUE (3753 Mississippi Ave in NE Portland). XOXO

tres trumpets

happy spring! in our spring fever, tony and i created a new and exciting wood sculpture. this cutie is now being shown at Lunar boy Gallery in astoria. we have been kicking to do a wood sculpture and are thrilled to have our first wood piece out and in Deborah's gorgeous gallery. thank you ben adams for inviting us into your bird show among such talented artists. xoxo




above is an "in progress picture". you can see my original design and the wooden sculpture after we sanded and carved them. i was heavily inspired by mid-century danish furniture when i designed and painted this piece. tony figured out how to turn my drawing into the wooden sculpture. he made the fantastic trumpets and put this little guy together! he stands at about 8 inches high. xoxo!

Meet Lady Won ton! She is a Delivery Giant who travels from town to town delivering lovely rainbow won tons!

This is my first shot at a wood block print. I had a wonderful time making this piece. I made little fabric won tons with embroidered rainbows on them and added some collage stars and bit of painting. a fun mixed media piece! She went to a show in San Francisco at Maverick Studios for a group show with some very talented Pixar artists. Thank you Courtney for inviting me into the show!

La Cerveza Afortunada

Hello, hello! Meet "La Cerveza Afortunada" (The Lucky Beer)! This one is a first time collaboration with Tony Candelaria. It went to a Day of the Dead themed show at Lunar Boy Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. The piece is a working slot machine with light up eyes! In the slots are a variety of skulls that spin when the bone is pulled. Then to top it all off, if you get three beers in a row the machine rings a bell and spits out money. (video coming soon) Look forward to more collaborations from us this next year!
