Moving towards new products…

Woodworking is a love/hate relationship at my studio. I need to create using wood in order to help display other works, but really lack confidence and tool know how. My father is a good wood crafter, producing furniture, building houses & cabinetry, but I have not yet taken advantage of his knowledge (and he’s 84Continue reading “Moving towards new products…”

Wildflower blockprint proofs

There hasn’t been a lot happening in the studio over the past several weeks. However, having a friend come over to work on printmaking helped spur along two block ideas. The images are still part of the Forest Series, but will take on their own life. They will be displayed in a different hanging system…Continue reading “Wildflower blockprint proofs”

Flight Cancelation

My husband Dave has been in Tasmania & Australia for the past 10 days for business. I was a bit shocked to find his Facebook message this morning telling about canceled flights due to volcanic ash. He’s pulling my leg, right? No. The folks in Chile know all too much about their current eruption, spectacularContinue reading “Flight Cancelation”

A Summer without Sitka

For the past several summers I’ve taken to increasing my art knowledge through classes taught at Sitka Center for the Arts.The first summer was learning bookbinding skills (paper, paper, paper!). Last summer I zeroed in on paper in 3D and it struck a chord. It was an “Ah ha” moment with the light bulb turningContinue reading “A Summer without Sitka”

Out the door

Why is it that packing for a trip (and getting to the airport) is stressful, even when I’m not the one going? Dave is heading to Australia & Tasmania tonight, arriving in Sydney early Sunday morning to catch another flight to Hobart, Tasmania. After a couple of days he flies to Perth on the westContinue reading “Out the door”

Artists @ Work

Late yesterday afternoon I popped open my email account before heading to the Ag. opening. There it was, the response to the Artist in Residence for The Arts Center………unanimous approval from the jury for my proposal. What an honor!!! I’ll be sharing the space with 3 other amazing women. Two of them will be drawingContinue reading “Artists @ Work”

Spring Frog

Resting next to a 1.5″ wide post, this guy/gal certainly isn’t large. We’ve reached the time of the year when they become more visible around the house exterior. I almost stepped on one last week resting near the front door. Our warmish temps have started to bring out the reptiles too. More snake sighting inContinue reading “Spring Frog”

Boxed and off to the gallery

Hurray! The 2 pieces of art have finally left the house in a protected form. This would be for the Art About Agriculture exhibit. Of course, it wasn’t until after dropping them off that the idea hitting up a moving company for boxes might have been the best solution for the 18″ x 37″ frame.Continue reading “Boxed and off to the gallery”
