Creatively Thinking

  Featured image: Along the Edge III Lately I have been weaving. Weavings of color symbolize a creative flow of life. The edges of the woods … well … well … they are like a fence, and I find a need to move beyond the edge into the center. The center … for the center invites discovery, and yes, protection and hiding places.

  I’m honored and grateful to share that my painting Intersections has been accepted into the 2026 National Juried Exhibition of the Georgia Watercolor Society , juried by Carol Carter . Intersections was selected from among 159 submitted works, and I’m truly honored to have this work included. This painting reflects ideas I return to often—the places where paths cross, where movement meets stillness, where one direction gives way to another. Intersections can feel uncertain, but they are also rich with possibility. They ask us to pause, to consider, and sometimes to choose with courage. The exhibition will be held at the Carrollton Center for the Arts in Carrollton, Georgia, from April 18 through May 22, 2026. I’m thankful for the opportunity to share this work in such a thoughtful setting and for the continued invitation to be part of conversations that honor imagination, reflection, and new directions. 💛

Do you ever stop in your tracks and ask, how did he or she do that? And then you are so curious that you look around the work to see if you can figure it out. You look around again to make sure no one is watching you, and if I were there I would say to you, go ahead, I am curious too. How did he do that? And you both bend and look underneath and try to figure it out. And if it is indeed me, you really look at it and really touch it—first making sure you don’t have a camera on you and don’t have a guard close by. No, you don’t even consider this at the MOMA. But I have inched up way too close to an artwork and been reprimanded, and then reprimanded again, and called MISS. Oh, I hate that. Do...

  Featured image: Steps and Ladders “ There is no glimpse of the light without walking the path. You can’t get it from anyone else, nor can you give it to anyone. You just take whatever steps seem easiest for you, and as you take a few steps that are easy for you, take a few more steps, and then a few more steps. We must walk according to the highest light we have. ” — Peace Pilgrim Extraordinariness it’s a grey day   but it’s not  immersed in the day   if you are immersed in  its wonders looking for extraordinariness welcome, come with me transforming the extraordinary  into a symphony of sacred  gentle rhythms   ….from the earth    ….from the sky    ….from water the extraordinary thank you extraordinary.
