Excited to start a piece for this show. As often happens for me I wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid image or idea for an art piece. I then spend a couple days coming back to the energy of that internal space and flesh out thedetails it is asking for. I believe much of my artwork must be connected to the subconscious and the dreamworld, as this fecund and layered realm seems to seed many of my pieces. This next piece will be an interactive mixed media assemblage piece titled ‘Worldly Worries: A Then and Now Compendium’. Come check it out as well as the work of many other talented female artists such as Jennifer Feeney, Anna Magruder and Carolina Martinez at Siren Nation’s Then and Now show at the Alberta Press in November.  To find out more go to:   https://www.facebook.com/events/1398794853690027/       or http://www.sirennation.org/festival-art/
