Paintings From Your Special Photos
These mixed media paintings are based on my travel and and vintage family photos. I created many works successfully and exhibited them in galleries. Now I accept custom commissions.
I only need your photo (which will be returned to you) to begin. The photo can be horizontal or vertical. I will copy parts of your photo in black and white and enhance parts with paint. I welcome your initial input about memories of the place, favorite area of the photo, etc. The price is based on the size of the canvas. The canvases are finished on the sides ( about 1 inch deep) so that framing is optional. It will be delivered wired and ready to hang.

Use- reuse- cut waste!
My new venture in art…
In this year of Environmental Crisis, I came up with a plan for “use- reuse- cut waste’ and make it applicable to our day to day life. Here you have a unique opportunity to get handmade bags exclusively designed by me.
I am selling these handmade silk screen tote bags.
The bags are reversible and have a silkscreen image designed by me on one side. They are roomy and are meant to substitute for a disposable grocery bag. They are also good as an all-around tote. My daughter appropriated my first bag and it is now going all around Manhattan with her. I want you to love your bag (actually bags- most people end up with more than one) so much that you don’t even think about using a disposable bag.
I have always wanted to learn silkscreen printing. It is relatively low-tech, I can use inks friendly to the environment and to me. The designs are anything that I can draw or paint and the process can show “my hand”. I like the idea of placing my art on everyday objects. I also plan to incorporate my silkscreen designs into my mixed media art work. Use- reuse- cut waste. I collect beautiful fabrics. These bags are mostly one of a kind. I am selling what you see. I can make a bag based on color preference and can print in any color ink.
Price: $75.00 plus shipping

I interpret the world through my own lens, more or less focused. It is always fiction. I freely add, omit, or edit this reality. This journey is successful when the art work assumes a life of its own.
