Time

Image
  Featured image: Blackbird Historical time is a tangible thread woven through the fabric of my creative conceptual art objects and forms. This thread pulses with the rhythm of life, marking moments that ripple into memory, imagination, and legacy. Every brushstroke and every sculpted form becomes a heartbeat—a vibrant echo of the past, a resonant pulse of the present, and an anticipatory cadence for futures yet untold. Recording visual histories serves not merely as documentation but as celebration: a woven tapestry where forgotten narratives are revived, reimagined, and propelled forward to inspire and transform into a new dialogue. Through this dynamic interplay, time transcends its linear confines, becoming a multidimensional canvas for stories longing to be heard, seen, and felt anew. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. When I create the threads—the tangible threads that weave the creative expressions of my life ’ s journey—they all share one commonal...

A Dear Friend

Image
  Featured image: Intersections A dear friend—I hope I can call her a friend—I have known her for a long time anyway, responded to one of my posts the other day about silence. She said something to the effect of, “Ah yes, the silence—there is nothing else like the Northwoods winter silence.” So true. So true.

Silence of Winter

Image
 Featured Image: The Choir When you are creating art, you have to be a participant. What do I mean by that? I mean that you have to be there somehow—you have to be in the moment. You are zoned out of all things around you; nothing else bothers you. You hear nothing else. You see nothing else—really, you see nothing else but what you are creating. I find this happens when I am outside having my morning coffee, relating to the earth, relating to all that is. When I am in the moment, I am part of the blackbird, part of the bluebird, part of the snow on the ground—part of the silence of the snow. I am a participant. I am in the moment. I become a creative, and I create. Does this happen to anyone else? There is singing in my heart. There is a wonderful singing in my heart. Can you create and have singing in your heart? Try it.

Winter Cold

Image
  Featured image: Winter River Winter mornings bring stillness, calm, and dim light. Winter is always full of otherness. It is bitter cold; even when I don’t want to go out, I don’t know how the little birds do it. I remind myself every morning that if I didn’t want the birds to develop the habit, then I should not have started feeding them. And so I go out, come in a couple of times because it is so cold, and then go back out again. The warmth of their little bodies serves them well, somehow. It’s all part of a very, very complex master plan.

She Is A Creative Receives Award

Image
  I’m feeling very grateful today to share that my piece She Is a Creative was awarded Third Place in the Abstract National Exhibition at Mark Arts. This exhibition runs from January 9 through March 21, and being included among so many thoughtful and compelling works has already felt like an honor. Receiving this recognition adds another layer of gratitude to the experience. She Is a Creative speaks to ideas I return to again and again—the real, the imagined, and the quiet freedom found in listening to one’s inner voice. To know that this work resonated in this way is deeply meaningful to me. Thank you to the juror, the exhibition team, and everyone who continues to support my work and my ongoing journey as an artist. 💛

Different Journeys Accepted Into Exhibition

Image
  Featured image: Different Journeys I’m grateful to share that my painting Different Journeys has been selected for inclusion in the National Online Showcase ’26 presented by the Watercolor Society of Alabama. Out of 115 works submitted by 66 artists, 50 pieces were chosen for this exhibition. I’m honored that Different Journeys is part of this thoughtful collection. This piece reflects something I return to often in my work—the understanding that each of us moves through the world along a distinct path, shaped by experience, intuition, and change. Though our journeys may differ, they often echo one another in quiet, meaningful ways. Moments like these remind me how art continues to connect us across distance, time, and individual paths. 💛
