Fear Busting One Minute, Thirty-Eight Seconds

American Flag

Some milestone events happen without warning and change your life forever. Others you can see coming a mile away. And you know that when the event is over, you will forever be changed. This was the latter. A little over a month ago, my friend Charlie Scott paid me a visit in the studio. Charlie…

The Labyrinth

Labyrinth Section

Last week, I was at a remote ranch, totally off the grid, creating a labyrinth with 130 students, aged Kindergarten through 8th grade. It was a profoundly beautiful event yet I almost didn’t experience it. Huge thanks to Camp Director Paula Grace for her encouragement and support. Speaking of Paula, I thought I was organized.…

Skype~New Version Limits Options For Mac Users

I love Skype! It’s a handy and cost effective way of communicating with people all over the globe. Recently, I upgraded to their latest version. As I was answering a call, I was dismayed to learn that I could not disable the video. This is not a good thing! I must say that 99.9% of…

Sunrise Heaven for a Cloud Freak

My friend Ted calls me a cloud freak. I just grin and grin.  I can’t argue with him. I’ve been known to jump in the car, and drive for miles just to glimpse a better view of these ethereal forms. One morning I went out to photograph the sunrise and I was swept away by…

Vlog 2/24/11~ That’s My Monkey

Sock Monkey with fish pear and Kazoo

I spent a lot of time trying to be a “serious” artist. And while I’m serious about my creativity and my business, I’m really a goofball at heart.  Writers are told to “Write what you know.” I believe it’s true for all art forms. Enjoy the Vlog~
