A Happy New Year to dragons and all else. I have started the year feeling more comfortable in my 60-year-old skin, despite having had to fend off those things that cause anxiety and remorse. I am still filled with beans and hope. I am really enjoying some fresh approaches to my work and hope to create more of the same. I started by investigating Matisse, Picasso, and another artist named America Martin. My new works I call Fillie are about youth and futures. I have also changed my landscape focus, Now choosing to work with a new presentation of my work using wall sculpture rather than framed artwork. I will still do the same recycled plastic art in a salvaged frame but now I will be adding something new.
