Southwest

Mixed Media/Fiber   39“ W x 30″ L 

Out of my third story window of my condo in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Denver, I could see mountain peaks in the distance.

The shapes of these beautiful mountain peaks could also be seen in the peaked roof tops in between the green trees. Far-away trees just fade into the distant view of the mountains. 

The design develops with the shapes of buildings, windows, and roof tops in front of the surrounding mountain peaks. Since the buildings house many people, figures are subtly added in windows.  The beautiful summer sky becomes an integral part of both mountains and buildings.    $1,200

Separate not Equal

Mixed Media/Fiber     67“ x 36″ L

“Separate not Equal” was inspired by my wonderful trip to Cape Town, South Africa. The city is incredibly beautiful in many spots, but like many cities, it is a place of haves and have-nots. In the wealthy, white area of town there were beautiful homes, but they were often protected by numerous layers of fencing. 

In the Muslim area of town this group of citizens created their own enclave of small, but colorful homes.  On the edge of the city, usually not seen by tourists, are the slums. People create electricity by running wires that are  not connected legally;  homes are made of discarded trash.  Everyone living here is black skinned.

My hope is that Cape Town can evolve into a place where all faiths, people of color and cultures live together in harmony and have equal opportunities.  $2,700

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
