I am making progress on my 12×12 art and getting some good use out of my drill press today! Currently drilling through faux leather clay and wood, then hand-sewing the layers together with Egyptian cotton crochet thread.

I will have artwork included in the upcoming virtual 12×12 Art Fundraiser. You can bid on artwork from your couch!

(from OVAC’s website) :

Traditionally, the 12×12 Art Fundraiser fuses 175 of Oklahoma’s finest artists with local restaurants and live music to create a memorable one-night-only event.

On September 25th, 2020, 12×12 will be digital for the first time ever. You will be able to bid on artwork right from your home. Plus, a livestream video in partnership with The House Helps will bring plenty of virtual surprises to your “couch” party!

​For 12×12, each artist must create a work that conforms to the dimensions of twelve-by-twelve inches. Bids for each piece begin at $175. Collectors who fear losing a piece of art in the auction may “Buy It Now” to trump the auction. Attendees may also bid on silent auction packages to win prizes from local businesses!

I am happy to have my artwork included in Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s 24 Works on Paper. This exhibition will travel to 10 galleries/museums across Oklahoma from 2020-2022. www.24works.org

I had fun today making wax seals and calligraphy flourishes on handmade paper.

Stu-stu-studio! I just finished cleaning/organizing my art studio. I have been working on this room for so long, I am ecstatic to be done and back to painting/printing/drawing!

I have artwork included in Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition​’s upcoming 12×12 Art Fundraiser.
