I have a backlog of things to share with you. From New Zealand to my own backyard. Where just until a few minutes ago I was sitting, basking in the 85 degree spring sunshine and gentle breeze. Spring has almost turned to summer here, if only for a few days. It will get cooler again, it will […]
Highs and Lows of Being an Artist
First off – thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. Those comments, along with some direct emails, were comforting and made me smile. It was enlightening too, to hear that so many others were hitting walls too. Was there something going on with the misalignment of planets? Or all we all very driven […]
Sometimes You Have to Hit a Wall to See the Light
I finally did it. I hit a wall. I was almost at the point of crash and burn. A near miss you might say. I saw it coming and at the last minute avoided the disaster by “taking to my bed,” as they used to say, at 3pm yesterday. I stayed put until I had the courage and energy to resurface. […]
Art + New Zealand
Walk with me through the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail, located at the Brick Bay Winery in Warkworth, NZ. See, that’s what I love about NZ. In one place you can enjoy three pleasures, nature, art and wine. A feast for the eyes, heart and soul. Come on, there’s lots to see, over 50 art installations, native […]

Source of Inspiration
What is it about my obsession with quotes? I have been collecting them since I was 13 and using them in my art for over 10 years. A quote is a wisdom sound bite about life. The quotes in my collection ring true for me. They open my eyes to what is real, what is genuine, provide […]
Local Color
One of the movies I have been catching up on is the award winning Local Color. I highly recommend it. A movie all artists and anyone with a dream should see.
Quilt Market & Festival
Vamping in my Booth It’s done. I did it. I survived! 11 days away (including the 2 travel days)! I’m in my 6th day of recouperation, taking time to relax, reenergize, watch movies, clean my studio and be with family. It’s also time to plan, organize, weed and sift through all the ideas and enery that came my […]
Janice Lowry
I just found out that the amazing and beautiful mixed-media artist, Janice Lowry, slipped away from this world on September 20, 2009. I thank the equally beautiful Pam Garrison for her post about Janice and want to share this beautiful video with all of you here. Janice Lowry is the type of woman/artist I want to be […]
