I am finally getting to post, it can be a little tricky with tornadoes and all. The print show opening was good, not quite what we had expected, but we were competing (we found out) with two other outdoor festivals and the first sunny Saturday in several weeks. Thanks to all the artist and supporters [...]

A lot of research has been going on but not much production, in my studio lately. I am trying new techniques in printing, on fabric and wood and paper. It feels like my work is being pulled in two directions. For years I have been dyeing, and hand painting on fabric, it is time consuming and [...]

I have been thinking about my personal style in clothing. Every year as spring comes around I start to stare in the closet and push things around to try and find things to wear.

I have never been to Paris, but always wanted to go. I guess it is my interest in fashion and architecture. Whenever I find photos or images of the city it just seems so beautiful and inspiring. I read about the artist Nathalie Lete in American Craft magazine, and found her web location with [...]
