Marbleized Paper

Since Katrina I have been looking for some marbleized paper I made during a talent visual art workshop. Just recently I came across the pieces. We dripped enamel paint on the surface of water in a metal pan. Janelle Trosclair demonstrated the technique to us. There are eight of these altogether. Many of them look like the abstract paintings I make.

Mosaic with Vine

This piece was completed in a mosaic workshop two Thursdays before Katrina. Gila Rayberg walked us through the process of creating a mosaic. The workshop was put on by the Jefferson Parish Talent Visual Art Program.

Raku

The Jefferson Parish Talented Visual Art Program organized a workshop with Pat Bodine on "Raku Firing." Here are some bowls I made and then fired during two different workshops.

Printmaking Book

This was a printmaking project organized by Janelle Trosclair. We first printed the pages individually. Then we stitched them together with cover pages in a book form. I simply rotated the direction of my printing block and varied color.

XO

This piece was inspired by two sophomore boys who were playing tic tac toe. They kept playing and playing. I painted this during the same "Abstract Painting" workshop with Karen Stasny. We were given free reign on our imagery.
