New Art Pieces

I'm back in art making mode. I've been experimenting with various methods of working with resin the past year and I FINALLY have the technique down! The resin looks just like glass.

See the new pieces at this years Park City Art's Festival on August 5, 6 and 7! All pieces are made of inlaid vintage books with a clear .25 inch resin surface. Sides and edges are accented with guilded gold leafing.

Red vintage books from the late 1800s/early 1900s. guilded details.
36x36 inches. Contact me for purchase inquiries.

Avocado. vintage books from the late 1800s/early 1900s. gold guilded details.

Inspiration is cross pollinating.

" Truly imaginative visual work Is extremely important in society. Just in the way that I’m inspired by books, and magazines of all kinds, conversations I have, movies, so I also think when I put visual work out there into the mass media — work that is interesting, unusual, intriguing — work that maybe opens up that sense of inquiry in the mind — that I’m seeding the imagination of the populous. And you just never know who is going to take something from that and turn it into something else. Because inspiration is cross pollinating. A piece of mine may inspire a playwrite or a scientist or a novelist, and that in turn may be the seed that inspires a doctor or a philanthropist or a babysitter. And this isn’t something you can quantify or track or measure..." — Marian Bantjes


Yet another great ted talk.
