“Making a Mark: Drawing in Oregon”
If you’re down Corvallis way you still have 2 more weeks to see the nice drawing show “Making a Mark: Drawing in Oregon” at the Corvallis Art Center (700 SW Madison Ave)…up until May 18th. Of course I WOULD say it’s a nice show because I have some drawings in it, but actually…it really is […]
“Map of the Table”
Just finishing up my most recent sketchbook project book in preparation for sending it off to the Brooklyn Art Library…maybe it will come to Portland this summer on the Sketchbook Tour??! One more page to go but thought I’d just put it on here today…it’s called “Map of the Table” and I’ve been dragging it […]
The Spring Quilt
This winter I was “confined” and had a lot of time to read, to sew and…to surf the internet. Somewhere along the way I ran across the work of Japanese illustrator Siota Mako … and the idea for the spring quilt was born…here are a few more of the inspirational flowers of Mako’s that I […]
MY LIFE SO FAR
I published this on my birthday in 2009-13, took a year off last year, but I still think it tells the first part of my story, and I love the old photos of the little me… Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. […]
Anne’s Quilt: Reality vs Abstract

I showed 2D work, but also quilts, and gallery owner Anne Beck was curious about the process. “How do you make a quilt?” she said…I said…”you just start.” We struck […]
Saturday Catch-up…

In chronological order (I’m influenced by an art historian here…) it looked like this…celebrate Jim’s birthday (and it was a major one…) have breakfast with artists…good talk, good breakfast… go get LAST (5th) cast removed, into “the boot”, and actually SEE […]
BE MINE!
Hey readers…here’s a recent perfect Valentine’s coffee…wish I was sitting across from you sipping the beautiful brew…(I raise my cup)… …but instead I’m doing stuff like this: using Borax and a “color remover thingie” (Mary’s technical term) to get out the red bleed on the recovery quilt, registering my lost baby quilt (thanks to Bill […]
ART LAUNDRY
It all began when Carolyn thought we might want to collaborate on an installation in her “home” gallery Lost Coast Culture Machine, in Fort Bragg, California. She then admitted a deep-seated need to iron in public, and “Art Laundry” was born…with the support of gallery owners Anne Beck and Dietmar Krumrey. We visited the gallery […]
