"Ode to 'The Yellow Wallpaper'" - Private Collection


 36" x 48"
"This wise man sent me home with solemn advice to 'live as domestic a life as possible' to 'have but two hours intellectual life a day' and 'never to touch pen, brush or pencil again' as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over. Then, using the remnants of intelligence that remained and helped by a wise friend, I cast the noted specialist's advice to the winds and went to work again." Charlotte Perkins Gilman on writing "The Yellow Wallpaper"

Halloween 2012 - a meager homage to Klimt...

...who was indubitably rolling in his grave at my attempt to replicate his work....

I was going for Hygieia -- as she was rendered in his painting "Medicine."  Of course, his model was thin, commanding, and lovely, and I'm rotund and wussy....

Klimt's version:
 Moi, with badly sculpted snake, and sans writhing nekkid bodies in the background.  I tried to get a couple of friends to follow me around naked and looking tortured, but they wanted to dress as bumble bees instead. RUDE.

"Cut off at the Waist" -- Private Collection

5" x 7" -- for postcard protest re: Artists and the Economy.  I snuck in a few strands of Baby Diva fur, so there's now Baby Diva fur somewhere in the White House; or more likely, the White House dumpster.

"Kilroy's Maw"

 This piece was done when Google+ was still in beta.  An artist representing each artistic medium was chosen to collaborate in a series of group projects -- it was an attempt to show the value of G+ collaborative "hangouts." I was the chosen painter, and this was the second of two paintings I did for the project. This was a response piece to a poem submitted by another member of the chosen artists. 24" x 30" sculpture/mixed media on canvas
