Bonjour, Just because it is new to you does not mean that it has not happened before… taking a break from the painting… I walk by the white canvas and simple say, “not yet, be patient…sometime soon”. This weekend was spent exploring something of my past. A different form of creating… Baking. I have always […]
I wanted to thank everyone that came out for the Andersonville Arts Weekend. I was so much fun to see all the different artist and their works… it also gave me a chance to show the painting that I “just” finished. I must admit it is still drying as it hangs on the wall in […]

Excuse me…… Muse, where are you? I feel that you must be sitting at some trashy bar. Toasting a drink to me, and maybe even laughing… it has been awhile since I have seen you lurking in my apartment. Welcome to my world…. I have paintings that rarely speak to me and then there […]
Duende– A word and concept that I am trying to become friends with… key word here is “trying” El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to music. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that […]
I have been working (struggling at best) on many projects this week. Multitasking has not really been my friend, nor has the computer, printer, or any other of the electronics in my world. I feel like I have been climbing mountains only to find out that when I reached the top… that it was the […]
