Mixed Media Collage Exhibit


I entered a local show, Mixed Media Collage, sponsored by the Oklahoma Watermedia Association last week and had all three pieces accepted into the exhibition. The show is on display until August 22nd at the Norick Art Center on the Oklahoma City University campus. My "In Kandinsky Time" received a Judge's Mention so I was very pleased!


I admire Wassily Kandinsky's abstract paintings so that's what inspired this piece. Kandinsky was also a musician and since I'm working on a Time Series the title (In Kandinsky Time) seemed to fit. I made the black felted background from Corridale wool then added the other pieces of the design by needle felting. Then of course I had to add beads and hand embroidery. This is mounted on a thick gallery canvas that I painted.
