Paint Mojo


I am so happy to share with you that Tracy Vedugo's new book Paint Mojo is now shipping. As I write this, it is ranked Number 1 on Amazon in both the mixed media and the painting categories.


This is a special book for so many reasons. It is a a coiled-bound hardcover book, beautifully designed and filled with joyful color. It is quite unique and unlike any other mixed media book I have seen. It talks of stories and symbols. And of finding and applying your own personal meaning to artwork. There are many tutorials from both Tracy and the contributing artists. But this is more than a how-to book and also includes stories that are both personal and universal, sidebars with quotes and tips, and beautiful images that excite and inspire. This is a book to treasure, savor and return to again and again.

I was thrilled when Tracy contacted me well over a year ago and invited to be a contributing artist. My contribution is a project I call Unfolding Dreams -- an accordion book that contain my dreams and represents my possibilities. Here are some images of my work. A full step-by-step tutorial is found in Tracy's book.

There's a chain connecting me and my process with many others working before and contemporary to me, and Tracy, and you, are among the links. Your contribution is just beautiful.
