Another in my “Ambiguous” series!

This perfectly cut Hardie Board is such a dreamy surface for collage work!

All my collages are Handcut. 😊 And the image with ladies is a vintage photograph.

New collage in my “Ambiguous” collection.

I felt a little odd/out of sorts this weekend, and I blame it on the planets! Especially because Saturn 🪐 leaves Pisces ♓️ this week. Those lessons have hit all the Pisces people hard for the past 2-3 years.

I have a Pisces moon and it’s a rollercoaster 🎢 of feelings always for me. 😊

Happy Monday!

My collages are all Handcut.

A little diversion before the sun goes down. I have been so cold this weekend! But too beautiful to pass up for some photos. Nature is always inspiring. Thankful for free will and free parks.

This 5x7 canvas is in my series, Ambiguous”.

I named it “Potter College for Young Ladies”. It was a real college in Western Kentucky in the late 1800’s.

Our family has some stories! 📚

I thrifted a whole set of vintage photographs and used this one as the focus.

All my collages are Handcut.

I’m working on a new series I named “Ambiguous.” I have several completed but I’m rather fond of these two WIP pieces, so I’m sharing.

It’s weird to make art and try to act normal while the US is in very similar astrological aspects as that of the Civil War. 😳

I like and . Both tell it like it is, but also try to live in the present without scaring the sh*t out of you. 🤩

We’re just all trying to keep it together.

Wake up. Drink coffee. Go to work. Walk the dog. Feed the dog and the cats. Binge watch “Heated Rivalry” - so good! Go to sleep and repeat.

Today I took a vacation day to regroup. A good day.

Peace and love. ❤️

Photo - Lafayette, LA.

I didn’t know how much worse things could get in the US just this time exactly last year.

More devastating news out of Minnesota today. It’s disgusting; I can barely take it.

I wish making art could fix it today.

Any utter tiny, but collective, human kindness we can put into the universe is the absolute least we can do.

When will this horrible nightmare stop?
