I will have a show opening October 1st at the Portland Arts Collective. "We Had Faces" #collage #feministart #analog #artonpaper

Sometimes things pass. I had this big idea to do something small but significant. But when the time finally came, some of my wind was gone. The Slice No. 2 2026 paper #collage 7 x 5 inches

I have a show up at Modernism West of San Francisco called Relics of Beauty - up until April 25th 🙂 #collage #arthistory #analog #feministart

My show "The Slice" is still up - I will sit there 12 to 4 today. At Weedman Design Partners, 1905 NW 23rd Place, Portland. This piece is collage on museum board, 32 x 32 inches. #collage #skyscraper #feministart #soloexhibition #architecture

Looking forward to a solo exhibition at Weedman Design Partners in Portland this coming October. I will show 3 of the Body Parts I made in 2019. Never shown before. #collage #target #bodyparts #artonpaper #analog #feministart #soloshow

Sorry I have not been around. I am dealing with my 95 year old #mom. They want to force her into #memorycare. Yet she's not even in assisted living yet! Anyway, here she is! She was an #artist. In the background you see a #switchboard at #AmericanAirlines, where she worked in #LA.

I have made crystal headgear before, in fits and starts. This one is from 2008. For the cosmic battles, in this dimension and beyond. #collage #photomontage #cosmic #headgear #crystal #crystalpower #feministart #artonpaper #analog

It's been a while since I checked in. I was here and there. I love the summer, my fave time of year. #ontheroad #collage #photomontage #feministart #analog #artonpaper

My Some Girls No. 19 (Cactus Flowers) #collage is showing at Frosch and Co in #NYC right now. All of the #skies and #flowers are from old #ArizonaHighways #magazines. The #women, from 1960s magazines. 32 x 32 inches.

The Museum. Each of these pieces are from the same 1930 French book on Greek sculpture. In a solo show now at Frosch and Co in NYC. #vintage #collage #photomontage #genderfluid #drag #artonpaper #analog

A favorite pastime - sitting with a drink and watching the beautiful world go by. I've done this, alone, in many cities. #cocktail #collage #artonpaper #analog #cafesociety

The Financial Times. I made this when my financial outlook was damn scary. Ah and now this era is reborn! Let us bring on luck and prosperity. (And PS this piece did sell 😎) #collage #financialtimes #artonpaper #analog #goodluck #prosperity

A helmet made of Giotto. It was declared - even back then - that Giotto heralded the End of the Dark Ages. Pease, let us bring about an End to the Present Dark Age. #collage #giotto #renaissance #painting #artonpaper #analog #feministart #headgear #helmet #endofthedarkages

In less than 2 weeks my solo show "Because She's Worth It" opens in New York. I am excited! #soloshow #exhibition #collage #arthistory #analog #vintage #artonpaper #greeksculpture

A Target I made with Tina Turner in 2007. It has been reproduced several times. #civilrightsmovement #civilrights #tinaturner #feministart #collage #target #analog #artonpaper

Barcode Target I made almost 20 years ago. I would still make this today. #feministart #artonpaper #collage #photomontage #barcode #target #vintage #analog

My artist friend made this portrait 20 years ago. You can tell I’ve got issues as the director of a gallery. Ah the struggle for credit and respect! #portrait #drawing #talentedfriend #randymoe #gallerist

#elizabethtaylor in a #delacroix I love both. Why not let them live in the same universe? #collage #photomontage #contemporaryart #feministart #target #analog #artonpaper

He told me to stop and take a deep breath. No, I said. Time has come today. #target #collage #analog #artonpaper #timehascometoday #feministart #annmargret

Type Face - 40 x 40 inches I chose to not become a graphic artist for a day job. I became a makeup artist instead. This work sort of brings them together. #collage #typeface #artonpaper #makeup #graphicdesign #analog

Showing soon with a lot on my mind. Art is my love, my life, my work. And a healthy dose of the unknown… #exhibition #collage #nyc #contemporaryart #analog #artonpaper

So this explains it. People would think I was wild, but that wasn’t me. That was my art. (Or at least I hoped 🤞) I stay in the studio, think, write and work. Then take walks. And these are the best of times. #flaubert #howtobeanartist

My Art History. I mix makeup ads with ancient art. The girls were supposed to be of little substance, while the museum pieces are "priceless." I want to flip that script. #collage #arthistory #artonpaper #analog #feministart

I have enjoyed working with a #target most of my life but have also, not enjoyed being one. This image is part of a series called #Bodyparts. A close-up, an examination, just like how we move sometimes IRL. #collage #analog #vintage #makeup #artonpaper #feministart

Sometimes I feel like a #tablesetting - to be arranged and rearranged, sometimes center stage and sometimes, pushed aside. But #beautiful #arrangement #vintage #artonpaper #analog #collage #feministart #flowers #floral
