Dropping a nuclear gratitude bomb on all that came out and made Friday’s opening reception for “Meditations” a resounding success....

Meditation Sketches
Read more

Recently I’ve started drawing right after meditating. I’m just getting back into it and always enjoyed where I was, or wasn’t, during meditation. The state that I would carry out of it was pretty rad too. Wanting to see what would come from that, and also to see if I could sustain that feeling longer, I took it to my sketchbook when I would finish....

I am an inconvenient person.
Read more

Despite being raised on catholic guilt, a year of all girls episcopal school, and four years at the straightest job known to man I have managed to tenaciously cling to my authenticity. There will always be people pushing you to be what is most convenient for their needs and goals. It’s one of the greatest challenges to know yourself and to stay on the...

Studio goes Mobile!

This is my first attempt to blog from my mobile in the studio. So here goes! I love zee technology. I have so many friends & family spread across the world. To be able to communicate so readily with all of you is something that I am infinitely grateful for. The idea of this trans-global correspondence conjures romantic images of letters written with fountain...

Margaret In The Mail

Going through some old sketchbooks I came across a page that had a drawing of Caley’s Mom that I started one afternoon a few years ago when we were visiting Indiana. Deciding to finish it was easy. Margaret Lents is a gem of a lady & who wouldn’t love to unexpectedly get their portrait sent to them in the mail? I know I’d freak...

Escape

My birthday recently passed and during the weeks & days prior to it I found myself looking for the nearest escape route. Luckily, that didn’t offend anyone too much. My friends & family love & understand my various eccentricities or they seem to at least put up with them. So I escaped. Escaped my dread over being at the center of all that Birthday...

Do Better

I was at the Museum of History and Industry on New Year’s Day learning all about my fine city’s past. I took my brother Geoffrey, a new transplant to Seattle, along with me. They were both tremendously patient with me. I can be a very difficult person to go to a museum with. My issue is that I’ve been both blessed & cursed with...

Oh, Dave
Read more

I am not one of Dave Hickey’s groupies (of which he has plenty). However, “A World Like Santa Barbara” sings to me. It sings! It’s in your face in a way that I could easily despise because of the way the essay’s sensationalism can keep people from actually hearing what he’s trying to say but it needs to be said or (even better) shouted from the rooftops! If more people felt...

“YEY!”

I know, I know, this isn’t art related but I couldn’t help myself! This is my new Ranger 20 aka “YEY!”. Yes, I named my boat “YEY!” and I’m absolutely not willing to take a single ounce of flack about it. This little boat is officially a cynicism free vortex of joy. Come aboard and get yo’ peg leg on!...
