My recent visit to North Carolina

I recently visited friends in the mountains of NC. The NC mountains are so magnificant and provide inspiration for the soul.  When I approach Ashville and first view the mountains I always catch my breath and experience that special beauty.  My friends live at the top of a mountain and look directly at Grandfather Mountain.  The view is marvelous and you feel as though you are on top of the world (or you may be so socked in that you can see no further than the deck itself and think this is the whole world).  It is no wonder that this area inspires so much art.

 

While there I took advantage of attending a three day multi media and collage workshop led by Vae Hamilton. I look forward to workshop opportunities.   Every experience enhances the creative process.

Creative Fun with fine art

The Keyhole - mixed media collage 12 in. x 12 in.

I love working with color and design to create abstract works of art.  This piece developed with the assemblage of various pieces of paper of pleasing colors.  The rules that apply to more representation painting must still be considered such as color, movement, and composition.
