Denver’s Painted Ladies
Mixed Media/Fiber 32 “W x 38" L
Most of us have seen the iconic photograph of the row of Victorian houses found in San Francisco. Along Delaware Street in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Denver there is also a row of old Victorian style houses. Across the street is the court house and the county jail is around the corner. These once stately homes now house an array of bail bondsman. I can image their former glory, long before the modern temples of justice were built. I played with shape and color to honor their former glory before they became a place for the 24 hour a day bail bonding business took them over. $1,300

Construction Zone I & II
Under construction is my interpretation of Denver’s new construction boom. For a while everywhere I looked out my 3rd story window, I saw high cranes. As the new art museum administration building developed, I loved the designs created by the yellow insulation panels. The design developed as pieces of rectangles and windows while in the forefront workers scurried around. $400 each

View from the Bridge
Mixed Media/Fiber 22" W x 34" L
One of the most beautiful cities in Portugal is Porta. Porta is divided in half by the Douro River. One side of the river is ancient walls and buildings. The other side is made up of commerce and river-based businesses. This bridge over the river is of ancient stone and is extremely high above the river. There is another bridge that crosses the river nearby. It is steel girders with cars rushing on it. The place and the view kept me there for a long time. I took numerous photographs but when I returned home these ancient building with worn steps up the rock cliffs were what drew me to creating my piece. It helped me remember a wonderful trip. $900

Blue Mosque
Mixed Media/Fiber 42” x 54" L
I visited Istanbul and was pulled into the fascinating merger of East and West. The Mosque is incredibly ornate and beautiful. It became my background for a group of Muslim young women These young women that I met while touring exemplified their individuality by wearing colorful scarfs while still honoring tradition. I was fascinated by each face. The women moved as a group and wore identical raincoats; they reminded me of the dance of the penguins. Sold

East

My inspiration for “East” came from looking out my city loft window unto the Denver Art Museum. I am inspired by the shapes and shadows created by the city buildings surrounding me. The design develops using these geometric shapes and the wonderful angles of the museum. I believe including people makes the piece reflect my personal love of the city. Our city is places where people can meet and interact, sometimes spontaneously, think “meet up”. $1,300

Since time immortal, artists have watched how familiar scenes change with the time of day. I am certainly not comparing myself to Monet, but I have always been struck by his persistence in painting all the various changes of light, color and shadow on the cathedral in Rouen in northern France. I have done similar studies in my sketch pad of the parking garage and bus stop that I can view out of my west window. 14 stories below me. Of course there isn’t any beauty of architecture but there is certainly a beauty in the shapes created by the sunlight and the shadows that can changes quickly. Unlike Monet I am not fascinated enough to create an entire series but I was intrigued enough to create this mixed media piece. $1,000
