Studio time on a Saturday
It was kind of quiet at the Workhouse today. While people were streaming in and out of our building I decided to do some much needed work on the big wall canvas I’ve been working on for the past few months. YES- I said “few months”. I love this project and it’s been a lot…

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m going to take a little break from the studio this week. I’m going off to spend some time eating some good homemade food and enjoying company with friends and family. There is a lot have gratitude for this year, even though it’s been a roller coaster of a year. I hope everyone out there…

New waves in the studio
As you know I’ve been working on a lot of new things this fall. It all began with “the wall” but I also ended up experimenting with some new themes in my work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a fan of maps. But – I inherited about 40 years worth of magazines that have…

For your viewing pleasure: Artist at Work
I finally found my tripod. So I decided to film a time-lapse video of me working in my studio. I’m actually completely done with the collage portion of this GIGANTIC mixed media painting. I can’t wait to work on the other parts of it. This video is about half hour of work collapsed into about…

The wall has been going through some changes these last few weeks. There’s been some problem solving, much needed breaks, and some breakthroughs. I’m really having fun with this project and the idea has taken on a different kind of significance and study. I feel like it’s moving forward. So with the much needed breaks…

We all have a connection to water and it’s important that galleries and curators choose themes such as this to highlight important issues. People always come into my studio…

The wall and chitta vritti
It’s been one of those weeks where I have been completely distracted in general. I can’t seem to focus on one thing at a time. I start doing something, and then my mind leads me elsewhere. I guess that is one of the reasons I’ve been back at making script patterns again. It’s like meditation. …

The Wall part 2
It really has been interesting to see what people say about my wall these days. New people coming through the studio building immediately ask: What? Why? The regulars (mostly artists), come through and give moral support, like: Go for it! This is awesome! and I get it! So what am I actually doing? Why? What…

New Series…beginning
After a wonderful opening this weekend at the Workhouse Arts Center, I am back at it again. This time I’ve decided to work on some wood. I ordered some cypress wood rounds, and decided to go back to using some thread. So I don’t know if this qualifies as a painting. Right now it seems…

New work on view tomorrow!
Come see new work at the Workhouse Arts Center. I’m really proud of this body of work. 18 new pieces on wood. 18 rivers of the world represented. When I started creating these works my goal was to experiment with the textures of the wood. How would the washes lay on top of the grain? …
