Living the Dream

My photo
I grew up at "the end of the road" in the very small size woodsy town called Ely in way northern Minnesota (5hrs north of Minneapolis) and quickly got out ;) Went to MCAE art school for 11th and 12th grade in Minneapolis. After that I just journeyed around a bunch!, a bunch a bunch! from Arizona to Colorado, from Seattle to San Francisco and every where around them, with of course the adventure to Europe and traveling all over from Spain to Amsterdam judging the Cannabis Cup to skiing down the Swiss Alps, seeing the Dali museum and sitting at Jim Morrison's grave. I now live in Seattle with friends and family spread out all over, I love to paint and to pay the bills I've worked lots of jobs but I'm good with people so restaurant work has made for a good fit. Plus with the whole jump up and go traveling thing. What else, what else... I don't know there's tons, look for the book. And Hey! Please comment (remember you need to follow me to comment) and I'm still painting so there's often new stuff, I'd love to have you as a follower and hear your comments, or as known on my page a dream makers :)
Sun Rise
3D wall sculpture- lamp
multi-media
4' by 2'+ and weighed about 50 lbs

I used velcro for easy access to change the light bulb.

So this piece started in a whole other direction, originally I wanted to make a big ass plaster shield shaped sun crest thing and it was butt load of work to prepare and make it, but came out fantastic! Then I dropped it and it broke into three pieces, yeah I know. So I glued the top back on and tossed the bottom half, built a big wood bottom frame and wired a light bulb on the front with different color filters as you can see(the red, blue, and green). Also put in a type of mirror tiling for light reflection. The top of the light cover was perfect to make a little landscape to frame up my sun. The scape is designed after the one I draw all the time, it was fun to build it for the first time.  Made with paper mache, cardboard, paint, glitter, and what ever else I could find. I made this in the Ballard Play house in 1998 it traveled around all over, my brother claims I gave it to him, but I took it to SF with me and when I left SF it stayed there. I hung it in the public laundry area in my apartment right before I left, my friends tell me it was gone in two days. RIP Sun Rise, where ever you are.
