This painting was commissioned for a corporate space. I love that it is the background for this very yummy looking reception. ⁠

End of day twenty? Twenty five? Anyway, almost finished. Must be finished by Friday. Deadlines help keep me on pace and off checking my inbox all day. #amonthinpaper #megblackstudios #pulppainting #coneflowers #blackeyedsusans #shastadaisies #russiansage #topsfield #abaca #paperartistcollective

⁠
My palette is a combination of recycled plastic cups-yogurt, cottage cheese, pretzel containers (of course I only buy pretzels for use in my studio), glue, spray bottles, and old rags. Delights my frugal heart to reuse so many throw-aways. ⁠
⁠
Here I am using one of my favorite painting tools, a turkey baster. This allows the pulp to be applied in a free flowing manner, looser than with a traditional paint brush. ⁠

This painting was commissioned by a private collector for her home. With so many people working from home, adding original art to your office design is a great way to make the space more personal and inviting. ⁠

I’ve learned the importance of deadlines this past year. This painting must be finished by January 20 so it will be ready for a photo session for a gardening magazine. No matter how much more I want to work in it, I have to declare it finished by that date. My goal is to finish one painting a month this year-all with a deadline attached. #amonthinpaper #megblackstudios #artistpapercollective #handmadepaperart #pulppainting #papermaker #paintingwithspoons #coneflowers #topsfieldma #blackeyedsusan #russiansage #shastadaisies #gardenart

I’m working on compositions for a hospital lobby commission. This is one of my favorites so far. The images are cropped from original paintings and then printed on acrylic. I reuse original works to create affordable and maintenance free wall sculpture installations. ⁠

This is an oldie but goodie. From my graduate school days. My professors told me I was a born sculptor. My response: a very large handmade paper sculpture of seaweed. I made an installation out of it by dragging it to the ocean for a photo op. #megblackstudios #amonthinpaper #paperartistcollective #handmadepaper #paper #papermaker #handpapermakingmagazine #northamericanpapermakers #abaca

#amonthinpaper Several years ago I was commissioned to create this #pulppainting. The subject is of the collectors ancestral home in Italy after it was struck by an earthquake. I found it odd that she wanted a painting of a destroyed home, but I have to admit it does have its own beauty-even in its decay. #megblackstudios #handmadepaper #papermaking #abaca #cotton #paintingwithturkeybaster
