These are some of my more recent favorites, made using my Gelli Plate. I print on the paper, then bind several sheets together and use pens, paint markers, colored pencil and Inktense pencils to do the drawings.
Art Journals
I do most of my work in art journals. I started with pre-made journals, but have recently switched to making my own journals with water color paper, which seems to hold up better to the multimedia techniques I use.

I make journals out of water color paper, too. I would love to see your books! BTW, the faces you make, UNBELIEVABLE. I love them so much!!
Thanks, Ayana! My books are pretty rudimentary--I am just basically sewing together water color sheets. I go back and forth between journals I make and journals I buy, depending on how ambitious I feel. :-)
Hi Michele! I met your husband at Temple and he showed me your site. As a young artist, I really appreciate your use of several mediums in your pieces. I also REALLY like your use of yellows and blues---and how you use colors in general. Do you have any pieces without faces? What do the faces mean to you? I'm glad you have an online gallery! Please keep up the wonderful work!
Hi Samantha--Did Darvin strong arm you into looking at this? :-)
Thanks for your positive comments! RE: faces, I rarely seem to do anything that doesn't involve a face. Even when I do things like make a Gelli print, I end up drawing or painting a face into it. Not sure why--I'm just really drawn to portraits somehow. And, as you can see, women in particular. I sometimes think I'm just expressing different aspects of myself with all these faces. Like they're about different moods and personalities. If that makes sense. . .
