"Jill the Plate Spinner" mixed media illustration 9x12 inches.  My piece for the circus themed event with the Bad Apples Artist Collective.

I've been making art envelopes to exchange with fellow artists.  It's so much fun!!  It's kind of distracting me from working on my large acrylic paintings for my upcoming shows though...lol

"Stellar" and "Atomic" will be on display for the first time in Fresno at Crazy Moon Studios, coming up next ArtHop, Aug 2nd!
