Another Tony Thompson/Steven Specht collaborative artwork

 I am SO happy to be able to work collaboratively with my friend and fellow artist Tony Thompson. His artwork is incredible, fusing graffiti-inspired painting with emotionally-charged messages of hope and love in the face of adversity. I feel honored to be able to add my collage elements to his work. We are hoping to have an entire exhibit of our individual work and collaborative work someday soon.

Masks of our times

Another installment of COVID-19 inspired artwork, here is a series of work created by friend and fellow Central New York artist Eileen Arnold. These are watercolor painting on black multi-media paper.

Another collaborative piece with the great Tony Thompson!

I'm so excited (and honored) to be working on a collaborative piece with my friend and fellow artist Tony Thompson! Here's the wonderful piece that Tony has created. I will add some collage elements that I hope will match his artistic mastery! Stay tuned...

Another COVID-related artwork

Here is another COVID-related collage that I found really interesting (and that I really like!). This is a digital collage by Sarah Madison. It harkens back to another historical era which elicited collective national fears; and is relevant to the next big pandemic concern, as some children return to school. 

"Treatment" (i.e., mats and frames)

I love when I get my pieces matted and framed (finis!). I posted the image of this collage previously... but wanted to show it matted and framed (brushed metal frame; olive green mat with black core. The olive green mat got a little washed out in this photo). I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I also posted the other photo; because it shows the size of this piece... much bigger than my usual work (I think it's the biggest I've ever done).
