This new series, “A Lost Era”, is based on the era of the 1950’s - 80’s. I have always been intrigued by this time period where products were built to last. Materials of steel, wood and wires, “buy once,” to last a lifetime.  Advertising was a big part of this era, people believed what they saw

in magazines; if it’s published it has to be good. I try to focus on items that captured people’s attention. People of the era seemed to be good spirited and have no fears of society like we do today.

 

I use digital montages transferred on to silk screens and print them on canvas and wood.  I find old books and magazine clippings from these eras and layer them onto my art.  Adding acrylics, mix media and resin, creating unique one of a kind paintings.
