June 2011: Welcome to the New Sigilation
While artfully and lovingly crafted, the original sigilation site was a complicated and quirky beast to tame. And so in the spirit of forward momentum and a more streamlined, simple approach, I unveil here a new stage to showcase my assemblage and encaustic works. I hope that you will enjoy what you find here. Be sure to come back often as I update regularly with news of shows and images of new works. Feel free to contact me with any questions or inquiries.
