Title or Location: LAST COFFEE IN MY AUTUMN GARDEN
I live in Edmond. My house is small and so is my backyard. My favorite spot is the patio where I enjoy my first cup of coffee in the morning.I love cats, had quite a few over the years, and presently have two. My backyard and the various critters that visit are my constant source of inspiration. The painting truly depicts the last cup of coffee in the garden. Cold weather set in but in Spring I was out there again.Most of my paintings feature a cat and some part of my backyard.

Title or Location: Maiden, Mother, Crone
This series is a deeply personal representation of myself as a geeky, black, queer, Wiccan woman and is a celebration of women throughout the seasons of our lives. The maiden represents beginnings and youth.The mother represents the fullness of life and maturity, and the crone represents wisdom and the end of the cycle of life. I wanted to capture each iteration throughout the seasons of the year, sprinkled with a bit of magic and fantasy. Each painting is 18" x 24" oil on canvas.

Title or Location: ?Iron men on the move?.
A Cirque du Soleil performance on paper. I chose to use just two colors in this watercolor painting. I decided to paint the men black and then lift the color out for anatomy definition .

Title or Location: Blue bottles
A small gallery and antiques shop owner, Ronald Harte, in Deer Isle, Maine saw a still life of with an interesting blue bottle that I use all the time, and wanted to buy it (not the one in the piece). It sold before he got to it. Over the summer he mentioned it and wondered if I could do a little series. Of course I said yes and started searching for blue bottles everywhere. The dark cobalt is a Vicks jar. The small one in the back looks like a medicine bottle. I saw the swirly one at my wife?s
