In The Tournament of Magic characters appear on the pages, splendid in their costumes while performing phenomenal feats. The images came first in the creation of this story. The plot wrapped around the already active visuals. The book displays over 21 carefully made pieces of art. These were created using mixed media on canvas. Layers of antique paper were combined with acrylic paint and pastels.
Books are available for $38.00 please contact the artist to place an order.

ARTIST STATEMENT
While using the theatre as a metaphor for life, I contemplate the way that we attempt to stop, and preserve moments in visual images,
and written words. Brief glimpses develop a story of their own and live on in time.
This collection showcases my recent works.
Some of the pieces are inspired by legends of my ancestors, in juxtaposition with recent events.
The pieces are layered with many different materials and paints, forming richly textured surfaces on a stretched canvas base, symbolizing
the complexity of human existence.
