These are new pieces that I just finished and brought to Popcycle, a fantastic store here in Tucson that carries my work. Not only does Popcycle carry amazing art from recycled, reclaimed and vintage materials, they also are active in various causes here in our community. The gals working there are just plain fabulous! I love them all:) You can check out their store here: www.popcycleshop.com

These works are all fairly small, 4x5 inches or less. They are framed with vintage frames that I've collected over the past year (I have quite a collection!)I'm always on the hunt and it sure gives me a good excuse to go thrifting!  I love these old frames...I love to imagine what other images they've held in the past,and whose mantels they have graced. Now I can give them a new life as holders for my Vintage Vixens! These works are inspired by French New Wave, American TV shows from the 1960's like Bewitched, The Avengers and James Bond movies.
I use pen and ink, watercolor and cuttings from vintage French Dictionaries ranging from 1911-1950.

I hope you enjoy these works!
