• What’s in a name?

  Posted on Thursday May 29th, 2008 at 10:05 in teaching art, the artist's life

• Compliments feel juicy

  Posted on Friday March 28th, 2008 at 18:55 in the artist's life

  We moved into our new house, boxes everywhere, and the computer kindly gets up and dies! So no scanner, no new art to post. But, I will add what I learned today. Compliments feel really good. The best compliment encourages you to keep creating. A pos...

  Welcome to my new blog and site. I wanted simplicity. I’ve got my energy in so many directions, it was time to streamline a bit. Somehow I wanted to combine my website with my blog and portfolio all in one place. Then I fell in love with the wo...
