i’ve had the pleasure to meet madison artist, kay myers and as soon as she began telling me about her exhibit at the artisan gallery in paoli, wisconsin…i knew it would be INCREDIBLE!
kay has sewn, most by hand, all of these gorgeous papers into an absolute wonderland! looking at the details, i am constantly amazed!
i just cannot believe each and every piece is made of paper!
it all makes me want to sit out on the back patio with a mint jullip and my needle and thread…an inspiration to add a few new materials into my paintings!

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something.
