What is collage?
I was recently confused by the dictionary’s definition of collage:
1. a technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various materials not normally associated with one another, as newspaper clippings, parts of photographs, theater tickets, and fragments of an envelope.
2. a work of art produced by this technique. Compare assemblage*.
3. [...]

Day with Pie
I’ve been trying to do a lot of work getting pieces ready for the show since there has been so much snow and I’ve been stuck home.
But I did get a little bit of time to get over to the barn to see Pie. My Dad picked up my niece and nephew from school [...]

Blue Bird Series In Progress
I’ve been staying up way too late working on these little pieces. But they are so small by comparison to most of my work that I feel like I should finish them before going to sleep.
They are in various stages of completion. The square one with two birds is done except for framing, the one [...]

Mardi Gras Mask
The Maryland Federation of Art has a fun little fund raiser for Mardi Gras. At the party on February 13th people will be able to bid on the submitted masks. The party is from 6-8; this short period of time does not allow for much debauched behavior in Mardi Gras form, but I guess that [...]

New Swan, details
My friend Cindy asked to see details of this piece so this morning I snapped a few close-ups. It and several others should end up framed this weekend. I was low on the UV protective coating so that’s been ordered.
Please take note that at the end of this post there is a button that should [...]

Two more new collages and one old one
I’m on the plane on my way back from walking the Gift Show in Atlanta. Technology is something, huh? I’ve been told to start shutting my computer down so I guess that this will be a short entry.
Enjoy the new photos.

New images
The new photos of my work arrived yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to do anything with them since I had to pack for my business trip to Atlanta. Now I’m back in the room after the show. I’m not going to show all of them right now because I need to get some sleep.
I [...]

Next Show
The New Year is off to a great start for my art career. Gallery 333, which is part of the coffeehouse associated with the Unitarian Church in Annapolis has invited me to be their artists for March/April. I need to make about 15 more pieces by then. Thankfully, I have 6 or 7 pieces already [...]

Sweet Success, Hooray!
Just a quick update, sold the two largest pieces and two smaller pieces today! That means that since my first solo show, I have sold 9 pieces! Sorry about all the explanation points, but this is just such a huge treat. I was delighted just to hear that people like them. When I gave the [...]
It seems that I had to quit exercising horses at the racetrack to give myself enough space and time to really get my art together. There is no way I could have quit galloping thoroughbreds without the addition of Pie to my life.
I was making collages for a long time, but this recently revealed technique and style of mine evolved about 3-4 years ago. Once the technique was perfected I started making more and more and more art. Due to a lack of free time most of them just got rolled up and put in the studio until I could dedicate more time to it.
So the journey toward full time artist begins.
