Untitled Bronze Sculpture





Here is my newest Paverpol Sculpture. I started her as part of my CPI (Certified Paverpol Instructor) training course and have recently completed her. She is made of paverpol, fabric, and bronze Pearl-Ex powders and paint. The bowl is made from paverpol and cotton fibers. She is available to you for $125.00. She was published in the Contemporary Doll Collector 07/2008 edition in her unfinished stage.


Remember, I can teach you how to create your very own piece of art. Contact me for details.!

Acrylic Paintings

Since my blog is fairly new and I now have high speed internet (YEAH!!), I thought I would share some more of my artwork with you. Here are some of my acrylic paintings. These were ones I have completed in the past 2 years. Some were sold on ebay. Some were commissioned.





The painting above is 36"x48" and has lots of texture. It was completed for a friend who lives in Waveland Mississippi. This is actually the second of the same subject completed. The first painting was lost during Hurricane Katrina. The title of the painting is Saved By Grace II and it represents a time when their family was out to see many years ago during a storm and they were saved by angels. Several people lost their lives during that storm, but God saved my friends.





This painting is 24"x48" and was sold on ebay in 2007. It was done in acrylic and gel medium. The black you see on the painting is micaneous iron oxide.










This painting was commissioned by my mother for her music instructor. It was a surprise gift

and the instructor was thrilled. She has received many comments on the piece which is hanging in her music studio.


This painting was done for a special friend of mine who lives in Mississippi. It is done in layers with acrylic paint, polymer medium, iridescents, and gel mediums. It is 24"x48".

This painting was done for my mom. She l0ves to play the piano and violin and wanted reds and purples in the painting.

This Paverpol Sculpture was created with the help of my 6 year old daughter. She picked out the colors, the length of her hair etc and I created the rest. This was entered into the Paverpol USA Flower Power contest, which we are still awaiting the results for. She stands 20" tall including the base. She is made primarily of handpaper paper and Paverpol.


I am a CPI (Certified Paverpol Instructor). I can teach you how to make one of your very own Paverpol Sculptures!!!! Contact me for more information.

Paverpol Sculptures

I first discovered Paverpol when I was surfing the web for fabric sculptures. I had recently purchased a Golden paint product which was a textile hardner and I was wanting to find out what other people had done with it. I didn't find what I was looking for, but did find Paverpol. I recently have taken a class to become a CPI (Certified Paverpol Instructor), so any Paverpol sculptures you see here, you can take a class from me and I can teach you how to make it yourself!!! Paverpol is a fairly new product in the USA and it is amazing. The really is not limit as to what you can create with it--just use your imagination!



Below is my 2nd Paverpol sculpture made with paper. I have made several other sculptures using cotton fabric, but have found that I love working with paper better. You can get much better seamless detail with paper and it takes paint very nicely. This one is called Maiden Tree and stands 22 1/2" including her base.






Here is the first Paverpol sculpture I made using paper. I also added handmade paper beads to embellish her with, these are the larger beads you see in the photograph. Her name is Marigold and she stands 23" tall including her base.



Pencil Portraits








In this portrait, I combined two photographs together to create the montage above. This is a memorial portrait. Both men featured were KIA in WWII.






This portrait was completed as a Christmas present.





This portrait is a memory of my dad. He passed away from heart disease in 2006. I chose to leave out some of his messy hair wisps as this is how I remember him most. Although as he got older, he didn't have quite as much hair! I love and miss him every day.


This is also a memorial portrait. The sister of the lady you see here commissioned me to complete this portrait for the widowed husband as a Christmas present. She wanted something special to give to him as a rememberance of his wife who had passed away a few months earlier.
