Hello Friends,
I cannot believe it its almost July. We have not had the typical Spring/Summer Reno weather. It has thrown me off a bit. Nevada Fine Arts Gallery from 4 to 6 is having a reception. I will be showing my Ramen series of original mixed media works, 16 total. Who doesn’t love noodles? I hope you can make it. If not, the show will be up until July 31.

Looks like this fish was jumping out of the noodles. But it is still tasty!

Here’s to bringing new life to old things. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Old fan parts, an onion mesh holder and some horsehair. Who woulda thunk?

This string material had a mind of its own. I let it fall where it may and nudged it a little to my liking. Then stitched it onto the paper.

Fish/noodle bowl. Nice wintery day for comfort food.

The old combined with the new.

Nothin like a warm bowl of noodles and broth to calm and relax and satiate after a long work week. TGIF

Happy New Year! Who does not love noodles? Inspiration can come from the most random places. I was at the antique collective part of Junkee in Reno a while ago and found a bag of broken Asian fan parts. They were old, intricate and beautiful. I bought them with the intention of using them in mixed media someday. I was experimenting with mark making at the time and kept repeating doodle patterns that reminded me of noodles. The fan pieces reminded me of chop sticks. I also love ink gestures and kitakata paper. In these mixed media “noodle bowls” I am experimenting with stitching on paper, gold leafing, encaustic and hole punching. I just show up in the studio, I look around me at the random materials scattered everywhere. This has been a fun spontaneous exercise for me. The kitakata paper is wrinkly and has deckled edges. My framing suggestion would be to float them and treat the art as 3-dimentional instead of 2 dimensional.

Enjoy your day. I love the simplicity of this image. Less is more. I try to keep it as simple as possible during the holidays so that I can maintain some quiet blissful moments.
