Since I retired, I have been more involved with my photography and my newly discovered passion, mixed media and assemblage art! Using found objects, trinkets, jewelry, and even some of my own photographs, I have been creating three dimensional artwork and small sculptures.
I hope you enjoy my one-of-a-kind creations!
My first creation includes a wire basket, floral glass stones, tassels, feathers, seashells, and a twisted wire dreamcatcher. Measuring 8" wide by 15" tall by 3" deep, "Catching Reflections" can be yours for $39 (add $15 for shipping.)
This piece is my second creation. Using crayons, buttons, beads, chain, and a seashell, this piece is perfect for a child's room! It will either hang or it does have an easel back for standing on a shelf.
"The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me" is 9.5" wide by 8" tall by 1" deep and can be yours for $29 (add $10 for shipping.)
The frame used for this piece has nine distinct sections and each section has a theme relating to everyday life, from home life to fun. Using words cut from various publications, some doll house sized miniatures, and scrapbooking paper, "Great Expectations" measures 10.25" wide by 12.5" tall by 1.5" deep and can be yours for $49 (add $15 for shipping.)
"Life Cycles" represents life's ups and downs and changes we go through daily, from our mostly hidden dark side to our everyday routines. Using miniatures, words cut from various publications, and jewelry, this piece works perfectly in its divided frame.
Measuring 8.75" wide by 9.5" tall by 1.25" deep, "Life Cycles" can be yours for $39 (add $10 for shipping.)
Repurposing an old frame for new art works great with this music themed piece. Using mostly images and words cut from various publications, the miniature wooden piano jumps out of the frame. "Rock That" measures 10" wide by 12" tall by 2.5" deep and can be yours for $29 (add $10 for shipping.)
Using a sectioned frame, this piece is all about playing and being a child. Using crayons, miniature toys, scrapbooking paper, and words cut from various publications, "Child's Play" measures 11" wide by 9" tall by 1.5" deep. Perfect for a child's room, this piece can be yours for $39 (add $10 for shipping.)
"Inspired" is just a fun piece that may work well for any creative person. Using scrapbook paper for the background, a zipper "explodes" buttons onto the page. Measuring 11.5" wide by 9" tall by 1" deep, this piece can either hang on the wall or it does have an easel back for standing on a shelf. It can be yours for $39 (add $10 for shipping.)
This piece is a little different for me. It is rather political in content, reflecting our nation's increasing divisions in race and party. Using black, gray, and white crayons, words cut from various media, and jewelry, "A House Divided" measures 8.5" wide by 10.5" tall by 1" deep and can be yours for $39 (add $10 for shipping.)
Another fun and colorful piece, I was inspired by a booth at a local antique mall! Scrapbook paper creates the background and is flourished with jewelry pieces. Bright and colorful, "Dare to Color" measures 11.5" wide by 9" tall by 1" deep and can be yours for $39
(add $10 for shipping.)
This is the largest piece I have created (so far!) and represents one of my favorite drives along Rt 66 in Missouri. I have used some of my images that I have taken on the Mother Road, along with trinkets, stones, and words cut from various publications. "American Road Trip" measures 15" wide by 12" tall by 1" deep and can be yours for $49 (add $15 for shipping.)
A folding frame lined with scrapbook paper creates the perfect backdrop for a resin Noah and the Ark. This piece would be perfect for a child's room. "Two by Two" measures 7.5" wide by 5.25" tall by 1.5" deep and can be yours for $29 (add $10 for shipping.)
I really allowed my mind to "think outside the box" with this one! Starting out as a lock mechanism for a door, "The Miner" uses the lock parts to create a little "man" to which I added rocks, beads, buttons, and even a lantern so he can see when he's in the mine! This little three dimensional sculpture measures 6" wide by 5.5" tall by 3" deep and can be yours for $29 (add $10 for shipping.)
