Carolyn Schneider and I met in a 7th grade art class. Our first forays into the art world were on the subway into the city to go to the Art Institute of Chicago when we were 13. We’ve been looking at art, thinking about art and making art ever since. For the last decade we’ve […]
What a crazy mixed-up fun month this has been…so far. Possibly there is a limit to how much fun you can actually have in one calendar month, but I haven’t maxed out yet. The fourth of July of course (see below). Then visitors… How and Amy came and we looked at the bridge progress.. […]
Well this gallery gig is interesting and fun, but goodness a month comes around fast! Thursday Dayna, Tory and I put up the new show, “Just Tulips”, and lest you think it’s ALL work, check us out…(these two are a little scary…) Dayna went BOLD… Tory went whimsical…(this one sold already!!) and this one is […]
In 2012 I went to Fort Bragg, California, to make art with my friend artist Carolyn Schneider, and to put up a show called “Art Laundry” at the Lost Coast Culture Machine Gallery. We had fun, worked hard, and the show was a success and held over for another month. Carolyn discovered her latent desire […]
We went to “the Museum” last night…in our neighborhood that would be the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. There’s a loaned Andre Derain oil on view that is lovely, “Montreuil-Sur-Mer…Derain a fauvist who painted often with Matisse, was 29 when he painted this. Plus a nice Robert Rauschenberg screenprint from 1970, “Features from Currents”…a 2014 […]
I recently read an article that said to have a happy life you need to do something EVERYDAY that makes you happy. If you love to draw that’s so easy…drawing books and pens fit nicely into a purse…insurance against any “slow” moment…all good. …and SOME days are really happy days because drawing and coffee join […]
I haven’t been in the studio much…Italy, 4th of July, grandbaby….so today I sort of sunk in for a while. It’s cool out there in the studio (temperature wise, I mean) totally shaded by a walnut tree and a bay tree intertwined. As is my habit, I try to find some past work to look […]
I took a bunch of my art work over to Monmouth last week for Eric Olsen’s Edward’s Addition open house, and the next day R and I went to see how it came out. The house is very nice, all on one floor, and it was total fun to see my work looking rather nice […]
My last birthday celebration was today, for this year anyway…a delicious lunch, a beautiful pavlova, and a present that matched my outfit… and after laughing a lot and giving my heartfelt thanks, we whisked away to Portland. David Savinar of the Rain Agency and President of the Maryhill Museum board, along with trustees Anne […]
On our way to and from seeing Sidney (our current priority!) we swung through some college art galleries and saw a couple of terrific shows. Portland artist John Brodie’s show “Versus Artifacts” is up at the Linfield College Gallery until March 22 and is well worth a trip to McMinnville.. This one is called “Hello, […]
