NEW WORKS at LANGSTON UNIVERSITY OKC URBAN CAMPUS

Here are some of my new pieces that are on display at Langston University OKC Campus.

“Lavender Relax”, 16X20  DSC01013  “Wabi Sabi- Calligraphy”, 18X24

  “Untitled Monotype”, 10X14   IMAG0064  “Celebrate”,- 16X20

“Celebrate”, was inspired by a classmate who is getting married. Barbara Sowah, is from Ghana, West Africa and she is so in love with color. We were with friends one afternoon and she was talking about her upcoming nuptials, she wants a traditional Ghanaian wedding garment and they are full of color, her fiancĂ© however would like it toned down. Anyways while I was doing this piece, she was popping into the art work, she is a fun and lively woman and this captures her celebration.
“Wabi Sabi Calligraphy”, includes poems, simple word calligraphy and lots of precious metal colors. This is one of my mothers favorites.
“Lavender Relax”, was so fun to do, I did a lot of underpainting on this piece. I included one of my collagraph monotypes on this canvas.
The “Untitled Monotype”, is a chine collagraph print, these are always fun to do, I usually don’t know what to expect when all is done. Freedom!
Enjoy the exhibition at Langston, it’s up until the end of November.
