If you knew me ...or even if you did not you would perhaps be surprised to realize that I have an MFA from Pratt Institute.....This was the early 80's the East Village vibe was totally the place to be in the art world in NYC.....it was very bohemian, creative, energetic....I remember doing a play at the Pyramid Club, because well.... just because I could, Studio 54 was rocking ....I remember seeing Grace Jones, everywhere! We painted and chained smoked at Pratt, we traveled to Europe on literally a dime and saw the great masters. I cried when I saw David, it was just that friggin' amazing......I would never change my past it made me the person I am today, things are different, I can honestly say I have never owned a mini van, but I have settled in New England, I pay my bills and sometimes prepare nutritious meals for my children. Things are different but I am getting back into the big ass painting stage of my life. I am thinking of turning my family room barn into a large studio, because , well , I can. Here are some big paintings I have been working on! *LoVe*
this is a section of a fairly large painting
and yet, another section of the same piece.
large piece, tons of texture!
different piece, same look.

Very coolio Sue! Texture is awesome. How big is the whole piece?
Gorgeous artwork! I just bought your Cloth Paper Scissors Workshop DVD and love it! I have a question, I have searched locally and on the internet high and low for the Crayola Shaper Paper, all the sources I have found say it is out of stock or no longer available. Can you tell me if this is a discontinued product? I can't even find a source on the Crayola website. I hope to be able to experiment with this product and I hope it is still available. Do you have a source? Thank you for any help you can provide. My email address is: srpbabb@gmail.com
