ReEntry!

Sweet Revenge, © BVF Betker 2014, mixed media collage on canvas, 24” x 18”

Time to savor the pleasures of the studio!  Swimming upstream all the way, this collage is composed of woven acrylic skins, acrylic and oil paints on paper, molded acrylic forms, wood, and hand-painted silk threads and shreds.  What is not to love?  We work hard, we play for keeps.

avenging the leopard

Here is a piece that began as an experiment in layers of acrylic paint and mediums, collaging in separately created acrylic skins and painted paper. It developed organically -- a means I enjoy and will have to keep learning from; right now I think it worked well! 36" x 36" acrylic/collage on canvas.
(The leopard in question was my painted silk kimono-style fiber sculpture, stolen from Seattle Center in the early nineties. It walked off its display as I sat 20 feet away, attending to something I guess... I have mourned long enough.)
