Today’s prompt for #MakersmARTch #pin reminds me of the years I did fashion design before transitioning to visual arts. Here are a couple photos of one of my last runway shows. #fashion #designer

A piece I started a couple years ago and have yet to complete for the last #Artyear collab with #FebruARTy. #art #surrealism
Dreamscape painting of a open space with a large cactus, palm fronds and a pool in the foreground. A woman dressed in flowing off white gown, wearing a white ski mask is sat in a swing suspended from the sky. Behind here is a black pineapple with eyes in its skin. In the background a smaller version of the woman in sitting on top of a wall with arches wearing ordinary clothes. A plant is seen growing on the wall while clouds bellow in from the sky.

One more for todays theme, some #rough seaside scenery for my surrealism lovers. #FebruARTy #Sensoryart #art
Figurative person resting on a checkered shoreline surrounded by red birds, cowrie shells and pearls. Red water lilies emerge from the ocean against a green sky with tribal line work and a blood-orange checkered sun. The words, ‘why not rest’ is painted on the right side of the sky.
