The framers have completed framing on two of my recent pieces. These will be going to 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula and should be available after February 14th.
The First Leaf – 14″ x 18.5″ – Framed – Available – $450.00
This one based on birch trees in autumn, is called The First Leaf. I love the texture of the nuno felt against the smoothness of the birch trunks. The birch trunks are made from silk paper.
First Light – 13″ x 19″ – Framed – Available – $450.00
First Light is all about how the morning sun reacts in the forest. The color palette was an interesting change for me but I enjoyed the challenge.
Join Tutors Gail Harker and Penny Peters at a free online venue Tuesday July 19– 10:30 am – 12:30 pm PDT
Join us online (no fee) to view our Level 3 Advance Stitch student’s exhibition of creative stitched artwork. It will truly have you dreaming of wonderful possibilities there are for people just like you.
Each of our participating artists will have a chance to talk about their experience working through this coursework, in spite of pandemic conditions! There will be time for questions and answers with the artists.
Lots of people asked to see my recent landscapes once they had been framed. I get my work professionally framed with a narrow, black wooden frame. If you’re in Whitefish, MT and need some framing done, I highly recommend my framer, FoR Fine Art. They also have a wonderful art gallery in Whitefish and Bigfork, MT and Tucson, AZ.
Here are the two biggest pieces after framing. They are approximately 20″ x 30-32″.
Here’s a couple more that I completed over the winter.
And the last one with it’s new frame.
I have been working on getting new gallery representation and contacted a couple of places. I heard back from Northwest Handmade in Sandpoint, ID. I took 16 pieces over to them and will be taking them some snow dyed silk scarves when we go back by there in July. Yay, happy dance.
I decided to make a few more 5″ x 7″ pieces to take with me but didn’t get a chance to show them here. These are included in the 16 pieces that went to Sandpoint. If you happen to be in the area, please stop by and visit Northwest Handmade!
The five framed pieces shown at the top of the post weren’t ready when I went to Sandpoint. I picked them up from the framers and the next day, I heard back from 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula, MT. They were interested in carrying my work too! Wow! Those five landscapes will be on display towards the end of June. Again, if you happen to be in Missoula, MT, please stop by and visit 4 Ravens Gallery.
It is great to have two galleries carrying my artwork but now I have to get busy and make some new pieces to replace any that sell. (I’m being hopeful and thinking positively.)
It’s been a while since I have posted here and I have finally gotten in gear to revamp this site. I decided to just use my name instead of Permutations in Fiber, mainly to make it easier to have people find me by name.
Take a look at the gallery pages which show artwork that is still available and work that has sold. The sketchbook gallery page doesn’t have anything for sale but gives you a peak inside my many sketchbooks.
Let me know if there are any links that don’t work or you see something wonky. I would like to be able to fix any of my errors as I’m not the best with website design. Thanks!
