    CMC Fine Arts The Chinatown Years 2009-2020

    A decade of working in Chinatown Los Angeles was instrumental in building my monotype and painting body of work. These works are soon to come out in a new self-published book titled “The Chinatown Years of CMC Fine Arts. As my lease came up on February 1, 2020, I decided to relocate my studio equipment and warehousing to my remodeled mountain studio  in Twin Peaks, California. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to relocate my Vestment Series dresses, Gallery sales of Paintings and Monotypes.

    About Me And my foremothers

    My Background

    In my Los Angeles Chinatown studio I pursued a body of work that focuses on the representation of the figure using monotype collage with tissue pattern pieces. This studio also housed my commissioned large format  abstract paintings for hospitality patrons.

    My Medium

    I use many different painting and printmaking mediums, sometimes together in mixed media collage or chine colle. My large format prints done in Murano and Florence, Italy are a signature of my Vestment Series "Icons".

    My Inspiration

    The presentation of the figure in painting and printmaking provides my studio work with endless inspiration. My grandmothers' continue to drive my body of work to honor our foremothers and their gifts to our generation.

    Grandmothers and Great-Grandmothers Influence

    Early in my artistic influences were my mother, my grandmothers and great -grandmother. They were artists, tatters, sewers, crocheters, knitters and taught me to create with an eye to originality and quality of material. Many times in my new works you will see impressions of their remnants or finished laceworks.

    Artist Residence in Italy for Large Format Printing

    Large Format Process

    Large Format printing for me was a unique experience to create an entire body of work not only rooted in a place and cultural heritage but also in the very fundamental of lace making that underlies my monotype textures.
