Release

This is my latest empty coffee mug vision. After landing on a color, I couldn’t help but see the moon. This started off looking straight down into the mug, but it looked too straight forward. The obscured edges reminded me of looking past the silhouette of a tree’s branches, or more plainly, a shallow depth […]

The Latest

Winter is off to a bumpy start. Finding the energy to even FEEL like what I’m doing on the daily is okay is exhausting in and of itself. Whether that’s doom scrolling, only doing two loads of laundry a week, or only managing making one meal a week as opposed to heating up another pizza […]

Creative Sparks

I am not a great artist, but I do like to pick things up and just try things. This summer, I’m home with the kiddo, and finding ways to fill the time. Another great excuse for all this is that I’ve been sick at home, so I am crafting-in-quarantine. So far… Playing with play dough. […]

What’s Left

It’s been a long, dark, and damp (if not, drenched) winter in the Pacific Northwest. Many friends have expressed everything from annoyance to pure hatred toward our recent weather behavior. They’ve questioned their decision to move to this far corner of America, asked for advice about the best “happy light”, expressed wanting to fry under […]

Clicking away, falling into the bending light, a man yelled and told me that he had helped the artist who made them. Unfortunately, in my hurry, I did ask his name, but in a quick search I found […]

It reminded me of many of Hopper’s paintings and how they illustrate lonely and quiet postures, and long dramatic shadows. The portrait on the wall is Johnny Jones […]

Rodin Creations in Black & White

I revisited and edited some photos I took at the Rodin Museum in Paris. The museum is a converted mansion that became the house for his work. It is a lovely, intimate space. Seeing the natural light fall on the sculptures in a house-like setting was pure joy.  This is just a small selection from the photos I took. For […]
