I don’t think I’m alone when I say that a lot of artists have a difficult time talking about their work in a public setting. I am usually very outspoken and really not the one hiding in the corner of a room full of people, but when it comes to talking about my work , the process, or my inspiration, I tend to be a bit shy…unless of course I have a glass of wine in hand.

[ Read More → ]I love having a paint brush/palette knife in my hand, and creating colors. I paint to describe the connection between objects. And, if I don’t like what I see, I edit!

The sweet janitor-man that cleans the place said: “Ohhh.. a bit messy. I didn’t want to vacuum and because I wasn’t sure [...]

[ Read More → ]This blogging business is giving me insomnia.
Today was the last day that I could have actually slept in before school starts again for the kids…not that I can ever sleep in but, damn!
[ Read More → ]I decided today that I am me. Yes, I know, profound. Not that that first post wasn’t me. It is, very much me
[ Read More → ]Here I am, on the first day of 2010 with a blinking cursor and a blog ready to be started. I have thought about how to write this first entry, what to write about, and I think that’s just what’s blocking me, so I’m just going to start typing. A good exercise in spontaneity, I guess. I need a place where I can talk about my work, about new things I’m experimenting with, about photography, about my family and about [...]
