#artfields2018

A tea party collage from last year’s pieces quilted installation at #artfields2018 🍵 . . . . Ive recently picked back up editing these photos and will post in between new works as I work through all 100 of them. Its interesting to review and reflect on older works periodically. And especially now as #artfields2019 gears up for next month.. I see a year later how my works have become more refined, my photographing has improved and my art-making process its self has transformed quite a bit. Makes me thankful to see some growth in my personal practice 🙏🏻🧩 . . . . Photo credit on the last image to the talented @fredsalley , thanks so much 🙏🏻 . . . . . . . . #collage #blue #collageart #colorstudy #patterns #pattern #pink #candles #artofinstagram #gray #art #artist #indigo #artistsoninstagram #artists #spring #teacup #collageartist #collageartwork #artstyle #southcarolinaartist #recycledart #recycle #china #neutrals #patternplay #installationart #installation (at Florence, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bum7l-vBcxe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ass2h4nnxews

Additionally I had a very important solo exhibition of my current work at @tappsartscenter, was awarded a Grant from @yorkcountyarts, and I was published by @the_jasper_project and Antioch Univeristy of Las Angeles' @lunchticket . I won best in show in a group show in New York (@polititsartcoalition ) as well as 2nd place in the Festival of Flowers show held in #greenwoodsc.
