Catching Up
It’s been forever since I’ve taken some time to write down my thoughts or read anyone else’s. The first blog post I saw when I opened the reader was from @TRNeff.Wordpress.com and I smiled. We worked together some years back. Two creatives trying to make a living doing nothing we wanted to do. We had…
I’M ALL MIXED UP
I am a multi-media artist, all mixed up – a Jack of all trades and master of some.

Forced Initiatives
“Forced” may be too strong a word, but due to life-changing decisions it is necessary for me to pack up my studio to prepare for a move across country. I generally paint in oils and acrylics and the occasional watercolors, but since the move has me packing up all of my supplies and materials, which…
