Fire Poppies
18 x 18 x 1.5 inches
$1200
Encaustic and handmade paper. In
California, the rare fire poppy blossoms in
places that have recently burned. After all
the fires and floods, poppies are becoming
a symbol of recovery and hope.
The Collector Revisited
18 x 18 x 1.5 inches
$1200
Encaustic and beeswax crayons. In
2013 I painted a small photo realistic
version of “The Collector.” It was the
first piece that made me feel like I
really was an artist. The revisit is a
larger, bolder, more abstract version
drawn with beeswax crayons and
painted with encaustic. It’s a reminder
that sometimes we just need to play.
