OPEN STUDIO TOUR COMING UP

Here is a choice we can make every morning...
or even at any moment during the day.


I will be raffling off this small 6 x 9 inch print mounted on canvas. If you can't stop by the studio, but are interested- please email me your contact information and I will throw your name into the suitcase of contenders. I made the print through FineartAmerica.com and it is pretty nice- with pads and sawtooth hangar on the back side. No need to frame!

Nest with chair, nest with suitcase


The nest painting is just painted over an older image done last fall of shoes, maps and suitcase.

The earlier one was about movement- I was actually trying to pack for a trip to Miami Basel.
This new painting more about being still- though there is the hint, with the vehicle in background, of movement. (I think that is my family exiting)

Empty nest in studio


It's time to get back to the studio, empty nest and all.

THE EARLY YEARS



In one we had the whole world in front of us... and 5 years later we had our homestead.

Is this the way to love?

Smell the Roses


I made this wood and paint construction while the babysitter held my son. I was desparate to understand what I was going through and needed to make art to get there. This forest features a giant rose and an exhausted mother in her house shaped space. She needs to turn towards the flower and breath deeply. 
Though I loved being a mother it really stripped me down to my skeletal soul. Does falling in love make your vision narrow and yet open your body?
