Southwest Vistas Series

My years spent in New Mexico had a very strong influence on my worldview and artwork. It seems I’ve unintentionally created a series of watercolor paper collages based on my time there that I’m now calling Southwest Vistas. This includes my previous works “Desert Sunset” and “Rose Mountain,” and a couple other larger works that I have not yet unveiled on my website because they have been submitted for a juried exhibit.

I just mounted a new 11″x14″ piece in the series on canvas this afternoon, and have another piece in the final stages of assembly. The image below is a shot I took last night as I was auditioning papers for their place in the final arrangement.

These two newest collages will be hung in the Austin Fiber Artists Member Show and Sale at the Wesley Gallery.
