One of the many reasons I love art is because it teaches us how to find and appreciate the beauty in everything… even old drop cloths! In my last post, I shared some photos of my new studio, including my DIY drop cloth curtains. I was so overwhelmed by the positive...

When I first started my Etsy shop, I took my old C

When I first started my Etsy shop, I took my old Custo Barcelona skirts and shirts, and cut them up into large pieces. The prints were bold and beautiful to me.
I took the pieces and wrapped them around canvases, stapled to the back and called it my art. “I am not an artist” I said, but these now make me feel like I am. I used the different patterns and draped them across one another, pulled them tight and pressed that really old heavy stapler with both hands. It was hard work but so rewarding to see these fabric covered canvases I’d created. Again, “I could never paint like this”, I said. I felt like a designer using the fabrics to create a one of a kind look. Then, I sold them all to a few friends. Now, that was fun, too. “No one will ever buy my canvases”, I said. “I’m not an artist”. Looking back to ten years ago, it seems I started my work then, the work that’s brought my art to where it is now.
Enjoy the process, Friends. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

New Collection 🌸 Hermosas Flores 🌸 Now avail

New Collection 🌸 Hermosas Flores 🌸 Now available on my website. This art series is inspired by my love of abstract florals. This time I took a different approach and added an aged look for just the right mix of old world with a fresh perspective. I spent more time on these than ever before. Each one has been carefully secured and placed for optimal interest. All frames come with hand applied gold leaf and ready to hang.

💓I’m loading these to my website! So excited🤓
