“Creative Spaces” Book Signing and McLean Artfest This Weekend!
I have a busy weekend coming up! The McLean Artfest, sponsored by McLean Project for the Arts, is this weekend, Sunday, October 6. It runs from 10-5 at McLean Central Park in McLean, VA. This show has been one of my favorites over the years–I didn’t participate last year because of a conflict with another…
“Rock Houses” in Process
I’ve spent most of this week working on Rock Houses, at left, to make a photography deadline. It’s always a strong motivator when I have an appointment with Greg Staley, who does all my professional photography (unlike the snapshot on this page!). I’ll replace this poor photo with his as soon as it’s available. (UPDATE:…

Last Day in Bend – “Green Totem” Goes to A New Home
Today is the last day of the Art in the High Desert show in Bend. Saturday was a beautiful day with lots of interested visitors–and one of my favorite pieces, Green Totem, found a new home!

Setting up in Bend
Yesterday was a busy day getting set up in Bend for the Art in the High Desert show. The organization of the show is amazing! Everyone had a designated time to arrive, unload and move their vehicles out of the way to make room for others–that’s always the hairy part for me, trying to maneuver…

Inspiration in Portland
I took a break recently to go to Portland, Oregon for my husband’s niece’s wedding and wanted to share some inspiration from the trip. The first day we took a long walk around Portland’s different neighborhoods and walked across the Broadway Bridge on the upper left…
Setting Up for a Photo Shoot
I spent most of last week working to get a few more of my new canvas mounted pieces finished so they could be photographed. That’s always the last step–once they’re photographed, then I can say they’re finished! Well, except for putting the images up on my website, which I will do once I get the…
