Amongst the current works you will find “Cat Ladies.”  They are colorful nudes in acrylic on canvas, surrounded by charming little creatures to help stir the imagination.

Framing: Each piece is mounted and framed (behind plexi-glass, if needed) in rustic weathered-wood sealed with polyurethane. Some frames and mounting boards are initially stained with an acrylic wash, some are rubbed with charcoal, for a depth of character and complementary tone.  As I do make my own frames they are each an important part of the piece.
