About
This Piece:
This is my entry into this month's NFAC, Nibble Fest Art Contest. This is a wonderful event so be sure to check out all the other EBSQ artists with works entered. A wonderful chance to purchase some great art for a very reasonable price. All the items start at only 99 cents!
The theme this month is Nudes. I have been painting nudes for many years so I was excited to have this opportunity. Since I have been working on mixed media paintings lately that is what I have done. I painted the figure on a canvas board and added cut out cockatoos from a book of 18th century bird paintings. I cut letters out of a magazine for the title. I go through my cut out phrases and letters every morning to inspire my work for the day.
I have been painting canvasses and creating mixed-media figurative sculptures for many years now. My work is in collections across North America, Europe and Australia. I am also represented by local galleries and sell at art fairs as well as through gift shops.
My art education has been mostly through self-expression and experimentation, although I have taken courses at Emily Carr Institue of Art and Design, personal instruction in drawing, painting and clay, and a number of workshops on botanical illustration. I also give workshops myself on creating spirit dolls.
