Fabricating Fresh Art – New Legacies Show Opening this Friday, July 12

The annual New Legacies Contemporary Art Quilts exhibit at the Fort Collins Lincoln Center opens this week and I am honored to have 2 of my textile paintings included again in this year’s show.

Did anyone get the number of that bus?

Being a bit on the introvert side of the continuum, it takes me awhile to recover from a 2 day/14 hour long weekend open studio event. I’m thrilled that we had nearly 200 people come see our studios, and even happier that I was able to have some great conversations with so many visitors. Seems […]

Last weekend I was hitting golf balls on the range, doing my part to get out and enjoy the 80 degree weather, easing into the sudden arrival of summer here in northern Colorado.

Let there be Light & Color and Shows, Talks, and Workshops

The home/studio remodel continues and I now have three new 8 foot long lights in my work space!
