"Red Flower Oil"
A Tai Chi teacher suggested Red Flower oil for various muscle aches and pains. I'm not sure how effective the treatment was, but the trip to the west side to get it led to an interesting multicultural bargain shopping experience, and the packaging was beautiful.

Wonderful! Did You paint the gorgeous watercolor? It is so free and childlike. Have You thought of putting some of Your collages next to each other to make a large collage?
I have done some larger pieces, but the source material I've collected is mostly small in scale. As yet, the larger collages aren't as successful. My purpose in starting these collages was to make a sort of visual diary, a very experiential, personal expression. Perhaps the small scale is necessary, like telling secrets rather than making a more public declaration As far as putting them together, they might work in groups, but I mean them to stand alone as sort of Haiku, instead of narrative poems.
A native of Cincinnati, Sandra Kaplan
graduated with honors from Pratt Institute in NYC. She has been living in Denver since 1971.
Her paintings may be found in corporate and private collections throughout the United States, as well as in Stockholm, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Kaplan is on the faculty of the Art Students League of Denver, and, after six years of dedication, has just rotated off of the board of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver.
She has been awarded: a grant by the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, a Co-Visions Grant from the Colorado Council on the Arts, and a fellowship to YADDO.
Among the publications in which Sandra Kaplan’s work has been discussed are the New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, Art in America, American Artist, Southwest Art and Artist Magazine.
