A cafe owner offered me cafe signs and asked if I could do anything with them. Thus the Recycled Cafe sign collection began. These are mixed media gold collage with acrylic and oil on canvas. I have used this as an opportunity to get experimental with different art techniques on them such as marbling, salt, soap and mixed media gold collage. Some of the arch paintings look like windows looking out onto tree branches with birds, butterflies and insects. I also have done a set with old Cathedral gothic arched windows. One is a series of birds including an owl in a tree at night, a gothic crow with nest, cardinal, robins and their nest and bluebirds. Part of the collection is in Private Collection so if you see one you like get in contact before they are all gone!
