Visual Fringe 2009

The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival starts May 14th and ends on 25th, during the 12 days of theatre, music, comedy, drama, juggling, improve, etc… you will find an eclectic array of Visual ART! I will be posting more YouTube videos on Fringe, meanwhile here is a sneak peak at my art that is in this years Visual Fringe.

The Fringe is 100% sales goes to the artist, no matter what type of artist you are… performance or visual. This years Fringe Festival is going GREEN and along with that, you will find many art creations have gone GREEN too. Originally when I created my art, I wasn’t even thinking GREEN, I was just thinking how can I use dead DVD’s and CD’s. Throwing them out wasn’t the option, so I gave them new life.

This one is called “Recycled Trees” materials used on the disks were muslin and textile puff paint.

This one is called “A Great Change” materials used on the disks were muslin, acrylics, crackling varnishes and oil paints.

Another Round: Small art for a small venue!

On Tuesday, Jan. 13th I sold some fun art. This is a great way to start the New Year. All the art was no bigger than 7 inches. Hence, small art for a small space. Liz Watkin’s of Urban Stew had this great idea to show at Wally’s, a bar that’s been there for over 50 years. And this was the it’s second art show; last year was the kick off with Urban Stew presents Stories from the Cocktail Napkin. Liz decided to recycle her outdoor umbrella that got attacked by one of our hurricanes. In doing so it turned out to be a great way to show the small art.

I decided to recycle CD’ and DVD’s, using muslin, acrylics and fabric dimensional paints. I just had some fun. And they were a big hit; I sold several. Donna M. Suries was another artist also recycled; and her crushed can art was also a big hit. Donna liked my disk art and I liked hers, so we exchanged.




Here are a couple of new owners of some Sprung Original’s. Thanks R. Merrill and Joe. Others were camera shy.
