Take a Peek Beneath the Layers

This time of year is always sizzling with the start of the new “art season” — shows and openings around every corner.

In proper spirit, I’m joining fellow collage-obsessed artist Rachel Leibman in presenting almost 60 works that explore the art of collage and worlds created within the layers: Beneath the Layers. The show is hanging in the BrassWorks Gallery — a place that’s built quite a reputation in the Montclair area for hanging great shows and throwing great receptions!

I was delighted that Rachel asked me to do this show with her. Not only do we share a love for collage, but we both seem to create works that open worlds within worlds; the larger image is made up from minute details that beg you to take a closer look.

I love the way our works play off each other!

Don’t miss the reception on Friday, Sept. 23, 6-9pm at BrassWorks, 105 Grove Street, Montclair, NJ.

If you can’t make it to the opening, stop by from 9-5 Monday thru Friday — or give me a holler and I’ll meet you there!

Thank you Rachel Leibman for the fabulous photos!

New in the Shop: Mum!

Flower. Mother. Hush.

This is one piece that I actually had a vision of before I started, and stuck with it to the end.

I usually start off with and idea and then it kind of blossoms from there in a free flowing way.

One time I counted each little flower and circle that I cut, but I’ve forgotten. I do still have the callous on my thumb from cutting all of them out with scissors!

I recently added this piece as a print in my Etsy Shop. It’s available in the 8 x 10 inch or the 13 x 19 inch sizes.For a limited time, the large print is on sale for $30.
