In 1998 I returned to painting on a full-time basis, using acrylics on crude fabrics, and occasionally incorporating 3-Dimensional paints, jewelry, string, or buttons, etc. into my artwork. Also, I developed a decoupage technique, which I call, “abstract refractions.” Using this method for two large abstract works resulted in a “Best of Show” award for Fractured Refractions, and a First Place in 2-D award for Moon Cry.
