Trash Dump Flower
10 x 8 x 1 inches
$225
This is an encaustic mixed creation. While taking the trash to a New Mexico Dump I spotted this flower. I had never seen a flower like this. Each stem had a petal of a different color. I stayed around until I felt I had captured enough of it to share.
Sunshine Poppers
15 x 15 x 2.25 inches
$325
This encaustic mixed piece was begun with a sky created from water mixable oils. When I was ready for the flowers,I used a wax stylus. Creating texture in different colors captures sunlight and makes this piece glow.

The Forest Floor, A Universe
10 x 10 x 1 inches
$2000
As I walk through the northern forest, I am awe-struck by the rich diversity of life on the forest floor beneath the leaf-litter. This painting, in encaustics, oils, and India inks, pays homage to the universe that unfolds as you look more and more closely at the world beneath your feet.
