Artist date to…Purgatory Chasm??

Doesn’t that sound like a charming place for a date? It’s actually quite lovely. And while Mike and I enjoyed scrambling up and down the boulders, there were others who did a bit of serious climbing!

What’s on your desk?

Wacked-Out Wednesday 
I found a really fun blog while I was surfing around this afternoon! It’s called On My Desk, and Linzie invites creatives types in all fields to share what’s sitting on their desk or in their workspace. When you get right down to it, It’s really only a great excuse to snoop into […]

All great art is a visual form of prayer.
~ Sister Wendy Beckett

We’re in Guatemala!

My Day Friday!

Mike, Nate, Dani and I left on Tuesday to come down and visit Nate’s orphanage, and to meet all the wonderful people he works with. We wanted to have a chance to see Nate in action and to help with whatever construction projects were currently underway. We’ll be returning to the US […]

“Stay Tuned” opening

My Day Friday! 
The opening of our yearly juried show for WCA was on Wednesday night! I ended up getting interviewed for it, probably mostly because I was the only one there with jewelry!
Here’s your (one and only, probably) chance to see what I look like without one of my wardrobe of wigs. Yeah, I’m really […]

If you’re visiting Germany…

…you really might want to think about staying in this hotel!  Each room is a work of art, and you may very well see artists at work.  Would you like to stay in this room?
