I guess I was kind of obsessed with tiny giraffes when I was a kid.
She always heard them before she saw them.
.
So yeah. Giant chickens. I found a book called 'Chickens!' at the University Bookstore. I opened it up and knew right then there that I would paint chickens. They're so ridiculous and beautiful. And they always look like they want to bite your head off. For these reasons I decided they'd make an excellent steed.
Man, did I ever have crazy dreams about attics growing up.
It's always kind of magical when dragonflies land on you.
Yeah, I made that word up.
This is one of my first oils after painting intensives at the Gage Academy. I always wanted to try mixing in realism, and I learned a lot. However, I didn't get into shows with this new style. I was told by a consultant that I shouldn't use 'big words' for jury images. Kind of an eye opener.
Another one of the early surreal oils using an old photo and a doll head for reference.
This title seemed logical based on the painting.
I don't know why I like lemurs so much. I think it's the intense eyes. And they look really soft.
I think the inspiration for this piece was certainly my childhood. If I could have made real my imaginary inventions, I would certainly entered them in a science fair.
Ingrid looks very pleased, and perhaps a little afraid to move or she might scare the giraffes.
After the war, perhaps a more gentle persuit.
And it would be mine too if it attracted hummingbirds.
Weren't the best teachers the ones who brought the real world into the classroom?
Babies are cute, but they're a pain in the ass.
I like the one crashed out on her shoulder. It reminds me of my cat sleeping on me while I read.
Ooo! that's creepy! That's what I hear a lot about this piece. Which made me very happy.
Meaning I suppose that he guarded the waters with a more worldly eye.
Meaning her cultivation was derived from herself, and not her society.
A painting inspired by dreams, and also Carl Jung.
Kind of an inspired play on words.
I painted this after a trip to Burning Man. Out there on the playa, anything is possible. There's no other way to explain it other than being there. It was my favorite year at Burning Man.
Paintings created with no source material.
A gift indeed. African art was one of my first inspirations. Specifically masks from Guinea.
Putting figures on sticks like specimens has always appealed to me.
This was the very first 'sidekick' painting. It was totally off the cuff, and it started a whole new concept. Now I could play with the relationship between two characters.
This is one of my favorites. It just came together in the right way.
I like that the subject of the painting is not in the painting.
I really have no idea what happened to his pants.
It must have been quite a parade.
You know, so it gets used to people.
I love how Lucien seems SO intent on telling us his story. And I think his friend wants us to be quiet and listen.
I like extraordinary circumstances to seem ordinary.
Here in the NW we have a lot of crows. Whenever I see crows, I wish we knew each other better.
This painting started out very different than it ended up. It was originally a figure holding a box full of kittens. It never looked quite right until one day, in an inspired moment I attacked it and an hour later this painting showed up.
I live near a beautiful park in Seattle, and I take walks with friends often.
I like that the feel of this painting is that the subject is outside, seated in a park.
I'm not sure where Mr Bummbles was rescued from, but I'm sure he's safe now.
Sometimes drastic measures must be taken.
This piece has a kind of dramatic air, even though it's about what's going on inside the subject.
I love this piece. It hangs in my studio. I'm still not sure I want to sell it.
This was the first in the series of combining areas of abstract with portraiture. I wish I still had this one.
The play on words goes nicely with this image.
For some reason I think 'aviation' when I look at this piece.
There's nothing in the world like really hearing someone.
This was the first of the Top Hat series. Many more have come after, and they all sold quickly so I guess I'm not the only one who loves top hats.
.
This one is a strange little anomaly. It was inspired by a wooden creature hanging from my rear view mirror.

When taking a walk was called a 'constitutional', it made walking seem like a necessary part of ones day. I think that added to the feel of this piece.
I'm still kind of fascinated by mobiles. In fact, I made one to go over my tv. It's really strange, and I have a light so that it casts and equally strange shadow.
This piece is about utilizing what you have when change is necessary.
Haven't we all found something precious in an unexpected and dark place?
This is one of my old favorites. It's one of my first oils, and it goes so well with the title.
We spend a lot of days in this sort of mood here in Seattle. That's why there's so many dogs here. They help us through our stormy moods.
Well, this is pretty close to what I dream about. I think this piece turned out rather well, it was during that first year I switched to oils.
Also a very early oil. I did a whole series of white background paintings, which I still am fascinated by. I don't know why.
A funny little accidental piece that I still really like.
Growing up a girl was kinda tough if you don't believe in how girls are 'supposed' to behave.
I had to add this piece. It's one of my very first oils, and it's just so weird. But I still like it.
I used 'Love what you love' as the inspiration for this oil, I liked the puppet idea
Kind of a strange piece, but funny when you read her cast. The whole story is there.
A doctor bought this piece at a show in Bellevue. So appropriate.
An early, accidental painting. I had a sudden inspiration and painted over something else, and this turned up.
Another piece in my blue background series. I was playing with a limited palette on top of black gesso. (a black background instead of a white background)
So yeah, this really was a random dude I sketched in Chicago and later turned into this triptych. I showed it in Chicago the following year. I wonder if he saw it? Because he did catch me drawing him.
I painted this on a broiling hot day at the Utah Arts Festival. It fascinated children, who stopped to watch. One in particular, who ended up unconsciously leaning on my knee while I painted. He was about four.
There always seems to be a 'spot'.
I wasn't sure if anyone understood this piece until it finally sold. I loved the idea of a superhero grabbing lunch in a mall, deep in thought and kind of oblivious to the scenario.
Wouldn't it be the greatest thing in the whole world if this was, in fact, your ride? I guess you'd have to squeeze in with the dog.
If you look closely, there's a quote by Joseph Campbell in the book she's reading. He's one of my heroes. Thus the title.
This was drawn while listening to Dr Martin Luther King's last speech on NPR.
I loved dancing to psychedelic trance at this time. It made me feel like this.
I love birds. What else is so small and yet fills the air with music?
This piece was an experiment. It's a watercolor cut out on an acrylic background. It sold within the first hour at a show.
I remember drawing this at a really boring art fair. I was drawing a lot of cats at that time. They just sort of came out after living with my Little Buddy for so long.
I love octopuses! Especially ones that have answers.
This one speaks for itself, I think.
This painting happened after I met a very tall skinny goth boy with his tiny tiny black dog in Ann Arbor.
My vision of a female adventurer.
Read his shirt
I really don't like to be bothered in the morning.
Gracie was used for a theatre add. How perfect.
I never forget the first moment I met each of my beloved family of friends.
A trippy little painting after some random deep thought about humanity.
This piece offended a woman in Eastern Washington at a show so profoundly that she came into my booth and yelled 'there's nothing classical about that!' Which was kind of the point, but I didn't think explaining it to her would have helped. I never went back to that show.
This one goes way back! It was my first experimentation with abstract and portraiture. It sold right away which made me feel good. It was one of those pieces I should have held onto.
Man, this one is an old piece! My cat wasn't white, but he was elegant and he inspired me to paint cats.
This piece still cracks me up.
Levitating an egg would be good practice if you found that you had the power to do it.
So yeah, this happened at my house a lot.
All of these drawings were drawn at art fairs. Many of them become paintings later on. I draw best when I'm trapped somewhere, like an art fair or an airport. I don't really care where the drawings take me, so sometimes I end up on a very interesting path.
Made of socks, keys, glow in the dark eyes, bits of branches, sculpey, and whatever else is laying around. 'Three' is my favorite. He travels with me.
