59″ x 43″, Oil on Canvas, 1996

Here is an Oldie, but still a Goodie! I created this painting in CELEBRATION of my sister’s wedding 28 years ago! It was a 4 day extravaganza and a super special funning- it event! I used to paint only the things that made me happy- friends, family, parties, babies, dogs- because I reasoned that there were enough images of pain and ugliness in the world that I didn’t need to add to all that unhappiness…. Now I may, occasionally, make a painting or series with a “unhappy” or critical intent, but my paintings always contain humor and a “f**k IT all” attitude, because you have to laugh, otherwise you will cry and cry! Anyways, I hope to be celebrating life with friends and family and just random people again! Let’s get this Pandemic in hand already! Life is a book and everyday is a new page, so just keep reading and resist skipping ahead to find out how it all ends, you may just be surprised! Ha! :)

Unfinished Fun!

The gloriously fun and fabulous ancestors of my children — a 10’ x 7’ “unfinished” (or is it?) canvas that hangs like a tapestry — I bring it out for Fundraiser Galas that are located in unsightly venues and most recently, for my daughter’s wedding. I met some of the people in the photograph, but with just one look at those amazingly awesome people, I knew I must capture their likeness and their spirits as best as ever I could!
