self portrait

I was looking at the paintings of Barkley Hendricks from his exhibition
Birth of the Cool. I love the power that these figures hold. I wanted to make a piece about power real or imagined.

I have always been a big fan of altar pieces which are also power pieces as well as prayer pieces.

what resulted was this...

Self portrait of the artist as a Bad Ass....

With Thanks and much Gratitude!

Today My shop / studio / community space is seven years old!
I am so grateful to my community, customers and friends who helped to make this happen!
I have come to know and love so many people through the stick it has been the greatest honor.

If you are here in Minnesota come to the goddess show opening and salsa dance party November 19

Love, Love, Love!!!!
