This body of work began sometime in the mid 1990's, as an experiment, seeing if I could adhere a dress to a canvas and create a painting over all the textures. "Dress painting" is a term I came up with to explain these when I simply couldn't think of anything better. Over the years they have evolved, with new elements of collage being added. Dress patterns, photographs, and embroidery all appear from time to time, as well as lino block prints, rubber stamps and gold leaf. I will use this space to explore the beginnings of this series, as well as showing my latest work. If the piece is available for sale you'll find the price at the bottom.

Studio Slice #16
A glimpse out the front window. I spend a lot of time looking out windows.
I am a professional artist happily married to another professional artist! Scott and I met in the South of France, and have built an interesting life here in the small town of Jackson, Georgia. We travel a lot and exhibit in Fine Arts Festivals throughout the U.S. When we aren't doing that we are usually puttering in our studio in the back yard, working in the garden, or fiddling with any number of other projects. Our lives have been made even more fun by our collection of goofy critters, which includes three cats and one spoiled dog!
In addition to some of the Desserts on this blog, can be seen at Dress Paintings, where I post a little less often, but hopefully enough to keep it interesting!
