Monthly Update

The Gallery Juana Newsletter has arrived.

If you haven't been to my Etsy shop recently, here is ...

What's New:

I recently listed postcard sized prints of my Collage titled, Scattered.

Size:
4.25inches x 5.6inches
10.6cm x 14 cm

Professionally printed on Ultra-heavyweight (120#) card stock

Glossy front with matte back



I joined "Vast", Visual Artist Street Team at Etsy. Their VAST blog is a great place to find mixed media art.


What's in the Works:

Geisha I

I just finished completing my Collage titled, Geisha.

It began with a painting of a Geisha on rice paper which was then glued to canvas board. Textured rice paper dyed with Sumi Ink represents her hair. Japanese fabric adds color and detail to her Kimono. The background was painted with gold acrylic.

This collage will be available as postcard sized prints by the end of October.


Thank you

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
