Encaustic Painting

First Sale of Artwork

I sold my first painting! Check out "Camargue Dream", 2010, 6" x 8" x 2", charcoal and water-soluble oil paint on plaster. This painting was inspired by the wild ponies in Camargue, France.

Monoprint Making at OHCA

There is so much you can do with monoprints. Send your loved one a card, use it for a flyer to advertise workshops, or simply frame it and hang it on your wall. The stories embedded in the spontaneous happenstance are rich and wonderful.


I love the soft effect when I added water to the plexiglass "pallet". I have to remember that everything prints backwards and need to learn how to "mirror-write", in order to get the type in the correct orientation.

Inspired by Paul Klee and Ann O'Hanlon's students, I'm working diligently in the shared studio space at OHCA on my monoprints. Yesterday, I discovered a "new" technique using ink and rubbing alcohol. Check out the "halo" effect around the horse in this monoprint.

Personal Creativity Workshop at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts

Hi Folks,

I took my first monoprinting class at OHCA with Cayen Robertson, long-time teacher, and will be showing some of the beautiful artworks we created at the Personal Creativity Workshop last Saturday.

Artwork Exhibited at OHCA in "Elements" Show

My first artbook called, "Return to Oz", was chosen by Juror, Giselle Kappus, for the "Elements" show, hanging through April at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley www.ohanloncenter.org.

The OHCA has many opportunities available to artists. Now, I am a member and have access to shared studio space for $10 per day!

Inspired by the William T. Wiley http://www.williamtwiley.com/ exhibit at the Berkeley Art Museum http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/, I am working on my largest piece ever. I have stretched 4 yards of silk gauze on stretcher bars and am painting with Jaquard and Dyna-Flow silk dyes. Stay tuned as this piece unfolds.
