I haven’t posted in quite a while because life took a bad turn about six months ago. My husband’s health began to decline in November; he was hospitalized for a week in February. He has several health issues which won’t be resolved but he is stable and doing as well as can be expected. Meanwhile, … Continue reading I’m back! Here’s what I’ve been up to
Studio Journal
I have been contemplating ways to share my work with a larger audience for a while now. Since my pieces are labor and time intensive, I don't have a huge inventory and one piece can only go to one person. Several friends have encouraged me to think about prints and merchandising. So I did a … Continue reading Time to branch out
I once did a piece called The Long and Winding Road which, once finished, I figured out symbolized the long road back from a difficult personal experience. I did the piece in 2016, but that journey continues. There are times when I am doing well and other times when I’m not. That’s true of everyone, … Continue reading It doesn’t matter how slowly you go….
I know it's been quite a while since I've posted and a lot has happened in that time. This one will be short just to let you know I'm still around! First, WordPress has done an update and I need to revise my site so things may disappear for a bit. If that happens, bear … Continue reading It’s been a while
It’s been six months since I left my job at the Bookmark. A lot has happened. I’ve been trying to find new, more sustainable rhythms in my life, but like everyone else, life happened while I was making other plans. Last fall, I started teaching a tapestry weaving class at the OLLI program here. It’s … Continue reading My tech holiday
It's been a long three months since I last wrote here. My health has been faltering for more than a year now...more like two if I'm honest. I have asthma and arthritis--both manageable on their own, but in tandem, they make life challenging sometimes. At 61, I'm not as resilient as I once was; it … Continue reading January 2020
I am still working on my Lionfish--got hung up on the fins, but I think I finally have that solved. The inaugural exhibit of Save the Reef was this month in Wyoming and we are still looking for our next venue. If you have any ideas, please let me know! I'll get back to work … Continue reading New pages, New Projects
For quite a while, my art practice was drifting. I didn't quite know what the next phase was going to be about and I felt like I was just repeating myself--doing the same piece over and over without moving forward. Last year, I worked on a piece that was inspired by some photos a friend … Continue reading A new direction; a new focus
It's amazing to me how fast time moves. I don't know if it's me or the world, but it moves too fast most of the time. Years ago, when I was experimenting with writing poetry--since abandoned--I wrote one short poem with a line that has stayed with me since then: Even on the longest day, … Continue reading Summer days
So, as usual, I am about 2 weeks behind on emails etc and I'm just getting around to doing some New Year's greetings. This past year has been transformational with a new job that has allowed me to restructure my thinking and my energies. I am in the studio more--though I still need to do … Continue reading A belated Happy New Year!
