Boro Art Crawl

Had a great time at this month's Boro Art Crawl. These 2 pieces, "Arrhythmia" and "Words Unspoken" have found new homes and I hope their new owners are very happy. Thanks to the Boro Art Crawl committee for all of your hard work! 

See you all at the Folk N' Art Fest coming up July 23rd at Mayday Brewery! 

Arrhythmia

Following "Spondylitis" and "Hemorrhage",  "Arrhythmia" and a small collage, 9"x12". The background is a painting mounted on wood with an encaustic fill and a collaged heart. I really enjoy this colorful background. I think I'll do more of this in the future. 

Spondylitis

Like "Hemorrhage", this is a 15"x24" collage with a clear encaustic fill. The background is also an abstract painting using acrylic and ink.

A hand drawn spine is collaged into the fill. 

Hemorrhage

This piece is the first of my larger encaustic fills. Typically, encaustic fills are done on a small scale because of the weight of the finished product and the higher risks of cracks with increased size. It is also difficult to melt as much wax as is needed to do large fills and to get it onto the canvas evenly without it drying before all of the canvas is covered. Despite the challenges, I believe I will continue to pursue large works like this in the future. This piece is 15"x24". 

The background is a poured non-objective painting with acrylic and ink.

I pour a clear fill into the canvas and collage a hand drawn brain into the center. 

Boro Art Crawl

I will be participating in the next Boro Art Crawl taking place tomorrow night, February 12th. I will be at Let's Make Wine, showing 4 pieces.

Small Piece

A new small piece. It is a 3D collage of found items; skeleton, nail, wood, metal, and text with an encaustic coating.

Words Unspoken

A new assemblage. Wooden letters, paper mache face, and wax in a box.

Boro Art Crawl

Tonight is the inaugural art crawl in Murfreesboro. I will be showing at Sugaree's Boutique and at Two-Tone Art Gallery. Come by and see some awesome local artwork! 

Wild Arts Day

Two pieces, Sing & Sting, will be on display at the Wild Arts Day Festival today. Go see some animal arts and make some things in the forest!

A Circus Affair

A simple 3D encaustic piece. I collaged the images of the circus family in the background. Then I added black and white encaustic paints, tissue paper dots, thread, and the little horse. Colorful and fun, I want to make more like this. 

Folk 'N Art Festival

This weekend was the Folk 'N Art Festival at Mayday Brewery in Murfreesboro. Aside from the ungodly heat, it was a very pleasant experience. I loved meeting other local artists and I sold a fair bit of work. It was surprisingly hard to let some of those pieces go, but I do hope they've found a home with people who love them. A lot of people took a card, so if you are here from that, I also encourage you to find me on face book at Eclectic Etc. to see updates. You can also share pictures of my works in your home and let me know how they're working out for you! Thanks to everyone who came by and everyone who's been supporting me. Hopefully I'll see you all at other art fairs coming this fall!

Here are some pictures from my booth. Come see it in person next time. ;)

Untitled Mouse Piece

A small piece to share today. Anyone who knows me may have noticed that I have a new job teaching at an elementary school. While that is great, it does mean that the past month has been summer camps and getting ready for next year. I do plan to make more pieces this week in preparation for the Folk N' Art Fest next weekend. 

This work is a piece of bark, book page, wax, and various metal bits with a mouse skull.

No deep meaning, just a study of color and texture.

Florasaurus

Another work for Two-Tone Gallery's June Dinosaur show. This is the Florasaurus. 

It is an encaustic collage with a drawn dinosaur, paper scraps, flowers and encaustic paint. 

And a picture for size reference. My biggest encaustic collage so far. 

Evolution

This piece was made for the Dinosaur show at Two-Tone Gallery for the month of June. For some reason I had collected an amount of plastic dinosaurs and now I am glad that I did. :)

Very simple composition and technique. I wanted the dinos aligned from darkest/earth tones to bright neons. They are mounted on a piece of rusty metal that I saved from tearing my old grill apart a couple of weeks ago. I used a clear encaustic fill to hold them in place.

The title is stamped copper. And that's it; Evolution.
