All through the holiday season I have been putting together a whimsical collection of Balloon Art, my version of my life story. The ups and downs, of my life journey depicted with balloons. It started out innocently enough......... a request to be in a show. Needing new work, and having just come back from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta; I had visions of balloons swirling in my head.
At first I envisioned abstraction so you couldn't recognize the balloon, only a pattern...... As the journey progressed I realized how marvelous and full of color a balloon could be. Than I realized what a great mechanism to tell a story. I added words to some of the paintings, I added figures to other paintings and the story emerged.
Now I have one last painting to complete and the tale will be told.
Steve Straussner and Karen Zelonka will be sharing the walls with me, along with Tony Reynold's wonderful sculpture. I can't wait till you see the show.
