Coming out from under a month of making hard decisions, plus two new works about heavy-duty subjects; the clouds feel as if they are parting a bit. There is always a sense of OMG, what’s next when work is finished. It is not for lack of inspiration! I have several hand-work projects in utero. I […]

grief and paying it forward…

The Universe has such an incredible sense of humor and keeps piling on the challenges. I continue to try and right the ship […]
