paintings
- original acrylic pour paintings on cardboard
- this is an art form I encourage everyone to try
- pours are casual art
- salvaged corrugated cardboard is a favored substrate
- these are studies and design boards, meant to be handled and moved about the house at will
- smaller pieces in particular, are meant to be leaned on a table or shelf
- paintings have no frames and no hardware unless otherwise specified
- at gallery works are displayed on small stands or hung, unframed, by wire attached to the back
- larger works are on salvaged campaign signs made of a corrugated plastic
- a few pieces are done on wood and traditional canvas
- please use and enjoy these!
hand painted towels
- acrylic paint is thinned with water and used to paint directly on dry fabric
- paint is allowed to dry for several days and is then heat set
- the result is long lasting color that holds up well to household use and laundering
- linen and cotton are the best fabrics
- you can do this easily at home; here is a video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP6KEO0ZOVs
custom print towels
- towels made of fabric, custom printed with some of my art
- fabric printing done by spoonflower.com; you can print your art there, too!
embroidery designs
- designs based on my own art
