- Welcome! For now, this blog serves as a partial history and portfolio of my work. You can scroll down to look back into the archives to see my wide range of creative expression, which includes installation art, encaustic (wax) painting and assemblages. The colors and symbols of childhood are common in my work. Some works feature vintage storybook pages, game pieces and toys while others are more organic in nature. Thank you for stopping by.

The name "Kewpie" derives from Cupid, a Roman god. The box containing the Kewpie creates a heavenly observatory overlooking life on earth, like a guardian angel. Great combination of mysticism and secrets (the box).
What a wonderful observation!
I noticed there are circles above and below the Kewpie that seem quite mysterious. It's like she's caught in a tractor beam...
These Kewpie pieces are great, and I like them a lot as a series, a suite (sweet)of Kewpies!
Allan and Janet,
I love the meaning of Kewpie as a symbol of love and then creating places for him/her to travel to and observe from.
Janet, you caught the circles above and below Kewpie! They are outside of the box as well. The circles came from a game I had never heard of before, called "Stun." They are glowing gold on a cobalt blue back ground and similar to a yin/yang symbol. I like the idea of Kewpie being beamed into an actual moment or perspective like a shift in consciousness or an awakening.
I have a few more in progress I hope to share here soon...Maybe they are a tiny series...
Thanks for your comments!
