What a weekend. The Roger Hull retirement festival (known here at home as the “Hullabaloo”) provided pure fun, reunions with friends and family, a tear or two, a nice goodbye. Well not goodbye really…his curatorial career continues…but goodbye to the classroom. As I stood in the back of the packed room I did reflect […]

CAP Auction
Tonight we blasted up to Portland to the Cascade Aids Project auction. Roger was the juror for the live auction section of the evening, and it was a lively event. Valet parking, perfect. Entrance into old warehouse building complete with boiler and wine, and nicely tagged pipes over by the hors d’oeuvres: and then the […]
“CHECK IT OUT…”
(as Randy Jackson would say)…I almost drove off the edge of Court Street this evening when I saw the two new M.J. Anderson sculptures in front of the Justice Building. Two nude marble figures just standing there blindly…(the piece is called “Blind Justice”) This, though, in the town that refused a Renoir nude in 1956 […]
Progress Report…
A good day in the studio…things are beginning to come together. The show that opens May 7th will feature 2 1/2 months of my work as the artist in residence in the Annex Studio, and I’m kind of amazed at how much I’ve done. Twenty works on paper are being framed, 8 paintings are more […]
Found drawing….
Here’s Sienna at the beach this weekend:
Roger and George
George Johanson has been painting Roger’s portrait. The painting will be unveiled on May 7th here in Salem at the “Hullabaloo” celebrating Roger’s 40 years of teaching. Yesterday we went up to Portland to check progress on the painting. Since I’m sworn to secrecy, I had to, well—OBSCURE– some aspects of the painting. Like all […]
Where I’ve Been lately…
In a word…”STUDIO.” My show opens May 7th, and today I found out they added a new wall to the gallery. As the first Artist in Residence it’s kind of a race to see how much work I can produce in the allotted time. Stay tuned for that. Those of you who know me know […]
LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: Carolyn Schneider and “The Lost Coast”
Sunday was another sunny day and we headed north across the Golden Gate to Fort Bragg (about 10 miles north of Mendocino). They call it the “Lost Coast” for reasons I don’t know but it IS a hike–four hours from any airport etc. It rained and poured the day I was there so I have […]
Thursday at the Annex Studio
Jennifer came down on a beautiful sunny day and we traded techniques and stories all day in the studio: Jennifer worked on “peels” I ironed my wax piece we went out for lunch and then after lunch Paula and Sadie came by to say hi. Sadie brought me some flowers a pretty nice day!
Gwen Marston at The Stitchin’ Post
Last Sunday four Seattle-ites swooped into town and we all took off east over the mountains for a two day workshop with famous quilter Gwen Marston. She was teaching the workshop in the back room at the WONDERFUL Sisters’ fabric shop called The Stitchin’ Post. After a bit of a lecture and “show and tell” […]
