I’m sitting on the couch writing this post, watching the “Christopher Robin” movie, with the cat on my lap. Seems kinda appropriate: I mean, who better to make you feel it’s ok to be introspective and optimistic than Pooh and a cat, right? Time to wrap up 2018 and get ready for the new year. […]

Collage Techniques is a class I teach frequently, both at my studio and at other venues. Beginning students as well as experienced artists enjoy this collage sampler. Even if you have made collages before, it’s a fun way to try new textures, media, and materials. Learn to play with these media and express yourself in your own […]
You don’t post for a few days and friends start pinging you asking, “Are you OK? Haven’t seen you posting in a while and just wanted to be sure you’re all right”. Oops. I am grateful for the concern, but, yeah, that tells me I post a lot. I try to post every day but […]
I’m pleased to be showing this year at the Christkindl Markt, a holiday-inspired fine arts and crafts show and Canton tradition. I did this show several years ago and it was a wonderful experience.

Wow, it’s done! This last set of collages was the most difficult yet. I fell behind again, but managed again to catch up. I almost quit around the mid-80s but figured if I was that close, I HAD to keep going. Does it feel good? Yes, definitely. I am happy that I did the 100 […]
ALMOST finished! Just another couple weeks left! I have found it challenging to keep up with this set of days. I have had a couple of shows, including Boston Mills Artfest, and other events that have taken up time and I fell behind a couple of times. Despite that, I kept up and caught up! […]
