Spider Web

Spider Web, 2010: Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas, 9'' by 10'', $300

This painting took me a long time to complete. I kept going back, covering over and layering. I think :) it's finally done. I love the way that the drips came out, the look and texture of this painting. I enjoy the almost eerie feeling that it gives with the stark white paint over layers of black and other colors.

Stamp Collection

Stamp Collection 2003: Acrylic, Stamps & Glue on Canvas, $200, 8'' by 10''

As a child I collected stamps. Well... I made my parents go to stamp museums and post offices buying up bags and bags of old stamps (probably not worth any more than the paper they were printed on.) One day I was looking through my room and found a torn bag that exploded with stamps. I gave up pretty soon after I started on organizing and labeling my stamp collection, and ended up with this bag of stamps that was hidden in my bookcase. I love using mixed media in my paintings and the feeling of covering the old with new by using these stamps.

Bubbe

Bubbe, 2004: Acrylic; Wax on Canvas, $600, 15'' by 30''

There are always paintings underneath my paintings. Some I don't remember, but this one is vivid. It's giant black Hebrew letters that morphed into a beautifully delicate yet raw painting. If you look closely you can still see the ghosts of the block letters.
