New Work
I am almost finished a series of 6 pieces created on reclaimed cabinetry.
As I Wait
Again I find myself in this place that has now become so familiar. Unlike previous times, I am now beginning to trust that I will find my way out again. Where am I? In this place like a deep hole…no , thats not it. I am in a glass box high above the world. [...]
Raw
I am already a very sensitive person, but after having my second baby all my senses seem even more raw. My sense of smell is crazy strong. Everything I see and hear drives me to distraction. I can taste everything. I can even taste the stress in my throat as the things that need to [...]
Life GOEs On
The show went well. I am so appreciative of all the wonderful support and feedback received. I sold enough to inspire moving forward. The new little one and my return to teaching has me very busy, and my studio time is confined to musing for the most part. As things settle, I know [...]
Show in a month!
I have a show in November, and I am about to birth a son. Great timing. My paintings still sit waiting to be framed. I need to make postcards…It is a coffeehouse gallery. Which I have mixed feelings about. Maybe more exposure than an exclusively art gallery. I did not submit to very many [...]
Clearing Out The Studio I find…

All from 2004
I am not quite sure

thoughts of you
and the cold
words you share
in a voice [...]
WATERMELON
So sweet. Every cell bursting between my teeth. Eyes closed. I can see it . Watermelon mind. Watermelon breath. I am watermelon. Life is watermelon in my watermelon moments, and life is beautiful. I open my eyes and gaze in to the flesh held up towards the window light. Watermelon glow.
I wonder about places in [...]
In This Moment
Usually I am either wandering through the days nostalgic OR in the moment. Lately it seems that somehow it is both at the same time. Perhaps I am nostalgic, and the baby growing inside me is in the moment. What else could you possibly be in utero besides in the moment? Could my baby [...]
The Point
The thought of having a blog seemed very appealing before I actually had one. The anticipation was similar to the desired acquisition of some new object, like a new bag ( I have a bag fetish. I never buy expensive ones though, because one- I do not have that kind of money, and [...]
Growing
I am growing. I have this little tiny bean size mass of cells with a four chambered heart, and other developing organs inside me right now, growing. My life is growing. I am opening- though I thought I was so open. Now I understand its been a different sort of closed.
I have been told [...]
