Workhouse Arts Center
Last week I had a meeting to pick my spot at the Workhouse and I couldn’t be more excited. I move in next weekend and can’t wait to get started in this arts community. It is rather funny that the Workhouse used to be a prison. That is not lost on me at all. In…

The red thread

Being part of a big art exhibit is a great opportunity to make yourself available to those who have never seen your work. Unfortunately, not everyone can go see my art if they’re not close enough to go the show. However, Artomatic, has given artists a chance to share more about themselves, the art they…

November gratitude!
What an autumn it’s been. We’ve had some amazing weather in the DC metro area, and I’ve taken a much needed break away from electronics and staying in my studio to enjoy the warm sunshine that we’ve been so lucky to have. We’re half way through the month and we know as it gets closer…
