These are the artifacts, the work I turn out. There is so much time invested in them. They were not made with a market in mind. I did try but so far this having patrons works much better. These artifacts count in my budget as advertising…

Created in hope of getting in the 2025 National Crow Show at the Studio Door. The underprint for this piece is a layering of two photos. A crow and a naked person standing and drinking wine. the person was elongated and placed so that one of their eyes overlapped the crows. While working on the piece, I engraved the paper and colored the human figure differently than the crow. After applying the final black, I dripped red from the person’s lips and breasts. Several other things are going on as well. Gradually the two images became one. Mixed Media, acrylics, micron pens and an archival underprint on Epson Hot Press Natural paper (heavy weight) mounted on a prepared Ampersand cradled hardboard 6x18x2'
