Imagery

I seem to use the image of hearts often in the art work I create. They can convey so many messages...there are purple hearts, blue hearts, passionate red hearts, gold hearts...you get the gist. This abstract was created with acrylic paints, modeling paste and cheesecloth on 140lb watercolor paper. I think I'll frame it and bring it to hang in the hallway gallery at the Wallkill River School for February....ummmm....the theme of the month being 'love' (surprise, huh?).

Intertwined Hearts

There is a smallish art & workshop gallery near me http://wallkillriverschool.com/Page_1.html that carries my work in the handmade gallery portion of their storefront. They have asked me if I'm interested in conducting a workshop. Of course I am but on what? Since I want to try to keep the word quilt out of it (you know, so people don't think this is a course in how to do Log Cabin blocks) I wonder if I should develop something that combines collage elements. Maybe how to use water soluable stabilizer to make 'fabric' and then how to embellish it? Such as the piece above.....

This piece is offered in my Etsy store.
