This is a diptych that I wanted to be reflective in it's compostiton and opposite in it's colors. I used found papers for the foundation. The focal point was created using cardboard, lace, paint, and silk flowers. Encaustic drips and and string served as supportive elements for this piece.

This is another independent piece. I first took strips of found papers and arranged them in a frame-like pattern. I added gesso and paint on top of this. I made the flowers myself using newspaper, paint, and wire. I also added encaustic wax and string as well as bubble wrap to complete this piece. I like how it turned out, but if I could change one thing I would change the color scheme.

This was my erasure project based on a still life. It was done in charcoal. The process was to draw an object moving and erase the object as it progressed. I thought I did well on this project. I think the apple looks the most realistic. It was a challenge to draw the pearls especially three times.

This is another altered book page. The prompt was "letters". I created an acrylic background and then experimented with typography for each letter in the alphabet.

These are a few of my altered book pages. The prompts included time, reflections, glory, and blinded.

This is my weaving painting piece in which I created two water colors and wove them together. I did a water color of grapes in red and in purple. Then I cut the paintings (one in lines and one in circles). Next I wove the circles into the opposite painting. I like this piece a lot more than Ithought I would. I need to add more contrast so that the grapes will stand out more.

This is my portrait piece done with an image transfer. I first took newspaper and using a rubber cement technique and watercolor I tinted it blue. Then I added my image transfer. I then added watercolor drips and sponged watercolor paint on top. Next I dripped encaustic wax and oil patels from the top of the painting. Lastly I added bubble wrap that I painted. I like this piece but
I need to add something to make the image transfer pop.
