Making some new sculptural elements for installation

I am trying out a new idea with my painting: creating the elements to stage my figures around.  I'm interested in dress-up and tea parties right now and making lots of things out of paper.

Just found out that my work will be featured with Sloane Merrill Gallery at the Boston International Fair of Art Show.  So excited to be part of it with so many great pieces.

Edge quality

I am very moved by edges in painting, and working small allows me to be more free to do that.  These color studies are both being worked on as larger paintings as well, but allow me to experiment in a way that is much harder to do in a larger scale.  Both are 4x5.5 inches.
