Chinese Lady on Silk


An original painting on silk, that I purchased in Suzhou at the Garden of the Fishing Net Master, by local artist, Pan Xian Ling. I decorated the matting with carnelian and jade gemstones and used other Chinese artifacts on the hand crafted wood frame. I took the photo without the glass that now covers the art. In real light, the mat is deep terra cotta rather than orange. $300.00 22"x22"

Faeries


The female images in this collage come from a body of work done by artist Patricia Wyatt of Santa Fe called On Common Ground, Paintings of Women around the World. One year I bought a calendar with these images, and when the year was up, I transformed those images into glittering fairies peeking out from the flowers. Then of course, I hand made the frame to match! 16"x20" Price: $150 plus 15% shipping
