Greetings from the broiling SouthWest

 Well it has been like two and a half months since I last posted- I guess I just find instagram so easy to post on that I forget about the blog- and just when I think hardly anyone reads this I get a message from someone reminding me they don't do social media. So here goes...

I have made lots of art since the last post. I also have done around 6 collaborations with other artists. I had some work in a show that features the work of Libros members. Libros is the large book arts guild here in Albuquerque.

The first three pieces are collages I made in the last week or so. As most of you know I love the house shape so two artist of late have been inspirational  Lisa Stubbs is a printmaker in the UK- love her work. https://www.instagram.com/lisastubbs5/Julie Liger-Belair is an influence and also a lover of houses. She and I did a book collaboration a few weeks ago- I will share that in another post.https://www.julieligerbelair.net/

Next is a series of eight new dream bubble digital collages.  I had such a terrific time making up these characters. It felt great to just have some digital fun.
