postcards from Buffalo ~ Shea's

I painted a little series of Buffalo landmarks for the Neighborhood Collective. I took my inspiration from vintage postcards, I love the kitschy look of the 1950's technicolor ones.

mobiles

Origami mobiles, made with driftwood, vintage beads, seashells and various found objects. I started making mobiles this summer as a project with my daughter. She is an origami folding queen and together we made several of these for our Art Under the Birches art show. They were a huge hit, so I made some more for the holidays.
