Be Mine Valentine...lady in Red

There fresh off the train awaits my lady in red. I was sure to know her, she was far above all others. She was just the way I had envisioned her. If man could make a woman, this is how she would be...My love my valentine, love in full gear.

Invincible Queen

It has been awhile since I have done a completely digital work. But I wanted to try this one as digital first. It allowed me to really capture the drama I wanted with the background on the piece. I am working on the "analog" version as we speak, and have determined it will be a dramatic piece also, but in a very different way. Stay tuned!

Another Scribbled Life

This is my latest Self Portrait done in Scribbletoo drawing program.I toook me about 15 min. It really is an extraordinary program. And artist or not you have to give it a try it is almost more fun than you'll have time for! The Scribbletoo site

The Time Manager

Time time how it slips away
I shouldn't worry, I should say
what I do I do the rest will
wait to another day...

The Idea of a Victorian time manager totally intrigues me. First you have to ask yourself did they really need one? There were no life coaches, car pools, or even "quality time" back then. They had instead things like dinner time, church time and bedtime. The second question that comes to mind is were their priorities all that wrong? At any rate, this would be the answer or the truth, You can not stretch time, hold back time, thrust time forth. The only variable in this experiment is you. How far can you stretch, go and bend? Frankly I would like to sit down over dinner and think about it.

This is one of my first Steampunk pieces. While doing a sketch for a little steampunk sculpture, I realized the synergy between Cubism and Steampunk. One really doesn't work without the other. I like to think that it is a type of Steampunk meets Picasso.

Cassie Capacitor

Going through my Dads stuff, after our estate sale I found some unsold boxes of "junk". I had some warm memories of sitting with my father as a young girl and handing him the sodder as he worked on TV's and Radios. Later he owned a Gas station and all that was left were these 3 boxes. I brought them home and got to thinking, after staring at them for a week, I ordered some fimo and paint markers. Let me introduce you to Cassie Capacitor.

Tattered Rituals

So much of what we do, we have done before. Which is not a problem if it works. However so many of the things we hold dear in this life, seem ritualized, we patch and mend, and still see it's beauty, it becomes a icon. This image lead me to believe that it is time to stop patching the torn and battered, and weave something new, something that will hold water, or at least myself. You only get one life, the fabric it is woven out of, is entirely up to me.

This is a digitally manipulated fractal. I pulled it into photoshop and hand drew the worn effect and unraveling.

Love Untethered Bowl (Repurposed lp record)

Who Knew? I was working the cash register at my Mom's estates sale and sitting with a friend I said, Really who wants those old records anyway. To which she replied, I don't know, but I do remember making bowls out of them. What I had never heard of that. Well you just now I had to try! Being careful not to damage the color pencil on the outside I think it turned out fantastic!
