Hello! I have been away for spell taking some time off, but am now back to working hard... Work comes (and goes) in waves. The above image will be available soon as a desktop wallpaper through a very lovely blog I follow religiously... Stay tuned!!

...April is a busy month. I'm in three shows...

@

Fleur De Lys • Portland, OR
Northern • Olympia, WA
Reading Frenzy • Portland, OR

ARCADIA: Cross-Country Style, Architecture & Design
My favorite book at the moment. I want to live inside its pages...
especially in that little poetic shelter by the lake.

Sometimes the light is so perfect in my studio, I am torn between being out in the sunshine and staying inside to work between the shadows...

Check out Hannah's tattoo ;) What a cutie. I think it is the sincerest form of flattery and appreciation when someone puts your artwork on their bod. I don't think I could have sat under a needle for that myself! Brave gal... Thanks Hannah!! Turned out beautifully!!

I just love this painting... It was in one of my online sales, but I put it aside for myself when it didn't sell right away. And then someone else loved it, too. It is now being shipped to it's new home in Chicago. Thanks Jackie!
