There is something about a window that is almost magic to me…
Maybe it’s a tattered lace curtain or a piece of worn fabric attached with a thumb tack to the window frame.
Or Maybe its the light. How it changes through the hours. Through the seasons.
What Rains Thundered against the window panes?
and what child watched the snow fall through the milky white Glass?
It’s the way that Sometimes the light comes from the inside, and sometimes from the outside.
From Dark to light and light to dark.
What stories are there, within the walls of a window that frame it so securely?
What stories are There, outside on the streets or roads that people travel upon?
And Why did these windows call to me that I had to stop and photograph them?

Blue is like a beach stone,
I put in my pocket to remind me of this day.
It is the color of the ocean village reflecting in the bay,

It’s that feeling,
the one that you’ve loved forever
the feeling of splashing in puddles
and floating hand-made boats down the street gutters,
during a rainstorm
and the feeling you have when you take a walk in the rain,
just because you love the cool air
and the way the roads turn black and shiny.
That is the feeling of Dancing on Raindrops.
““I believe that we all have a special light, and to help someone’s light shine brighter, is one of the most important gifts of all.”
— Roxanne Evans Stout, Dancing with Raindrops
Dancing on Raindrops
I wrote it for those moments that we savor.
The moments when we stop and pause
and really look at the world.
Dancing on Raindrops, title page, on my desk with flowers…
“There is something meditative about turning these pages and seeing the beauty that awaits you in every photograph.”
— Seth Apter, Dancing on Raindrops
What does a new day bring for you? From Dancing on Raindrops.
“As an artist, Roxanne’s work has always read like poetry to me and it’s so wonderful to see this rich collection of images available as an interactive journal.”
— Tonia Jenny, Dancing with Raindrops
Does it ever feel as if the mountains are singing? A page from Dancing on Raindrops.
“I am also mindful of the need to share and to bring my art to life, This is where I feel my deepest connections to mankind.”
— Roxanne Evans Stout, Dancing on Raindrops
Worktable with Dancing with Raindrops.
“Do you trust your own path? Where do you take refuge and where is your sanctuary? Your map is written in the sky, do you see it?”
“This second book is a great companion to Storytelling with Collage in that the first book teaches you Roxanne’s hands-on techniques for working with found objects and Dancing on Raindrops is actually meant for capturing your own visual stories—this time more two-dimensionally—right inside the book! ”

Abundant Art
Life is good here at my River Garden Studio… and this year promises to be filled with an abundance of Art and Creativity
And Teaching My Art.
“I have discovered that when I teach, it is not just my processes and techniques that I want to share… but for me to guide you in becoming more creative, and embracing the stories that you share in your art making.”
— roxanne evans stout
I taught a wonderful workshop at The Art Department in Salem, Oregon called A Book of Trees. My students were Exuberant! Here is a book created by Kathy Gottfried. Isn’t it stunning?
I will be traveling to some of the places that I love, and exploring new places that I have always dreamt about. I will be collaborating with friends, both in my teaching and in special art projects that you will hear about soon.
This winter has had it’s ups and downs. I am sure everyone feels that in some way. And for those of us who live in Oregon on this side of the Cascade Mountains, it is not over yet.
But I have loved my days, my transition into my new studio… and ever watchful of the changing light.
I have two big retreats coming up in just a month, and lots of projects to design, create and refine.
They are back to back so I will be gone from home longer than I have been for ages.
A Case of Curiosities is a workshop that I teach with a dear friend, Seth Apter of The Altered Page, in Taos New Mexico in March. If you can’t make this workshop we will be teaching it there again in October.
The magic at Mabel Dodge Luhan House is unmistakable and something that is felt by everyone who visits there. We have just one or two spots left in March, and October is filling up quickly!
And Art and Soul is a wonderful retreat in Portland, Oregon. I taught for Glenny at Art and Soul last year, in Virginia Beach, and was so warmly welcomed that I can’t wait to see everyone again!
I will be teaching three wonderful workshops there, and registration is still open. Below is a photo-collage of some beautiful student work from The Alchemist’s Book of Treasures.
In the SPRING I have two very special events…
a workshop here at River Garden Studio
when it is the most beautiful.
We will create outside under the Maple Trees, with a backdrop of a Pine Forest and the sounds of Song Birds singing their garden songs.
I am teaching with the lovely Tonia Jenny and this unique workshop is called:
Don’t forget to check out the Itinerary, our days will be filled with exploring, art making, collecting and gathering and all sorts of delightful endeavors!
Please email me if you have any questions and don’t forget about my online workshops, especially if you can’t attend a live one!
Also, I will be having two artist books shown at the Relics and Ruins Show at Atelier 6000 Gallery in Bend, Oregon. The opening is Friday, March 3rd and I would love to see you there!

December comes quietly this year.
Soft rain and snow.
The ground is still not frozen.
Today there is a pause in the wind.
A sigh.
In the quiet I think about the last year.
So much amazingness.
So much to be grateful for.
Mostly that my book, Storytelling with Collage, was published by North Light Books and I think people are loving it as much as I loved working on it.
My Pathways and Wanderings online workshop was a huge success and I am now working on another one called

Like so many others who live in the Northern Hemisphere…
I am loving the yellow light of Autumn.
The way it streams through the pine trees
and my windows in the early evening.
The way it pours in from the east in the morning
and warms me as I drink my coffee.
And the way it makes my studio glow in the late afternoon .
Just a few months ago I moved my studio and it has taken me a long time to get used to it, my new creative place. With the leaves falling off the trees I have discovered a new light warming me and my soul.
I am grateful for this time at home to create, gather all the things around me close
And Just Be.
This quiet time is when I am renewed and revitalized.
My heart is open.
Thank you for visiting and I wish you
Time to Just Be
as well.
“All the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.”
— Virginia Wolf, To the Lighthouse
A glimpse of our yellow world in the Pacific Northwest…

I am excited to announce the Release of my New Stencil Designs…for StencilGirl!
Let me tell you a little about them…
My Wildland Creatures are a part of a new series that include the birds, fish and animals that I love to watch and include in my artwork. I hope that you will love to use my new designs in your art as well!
These animals are a part of my life in the Pacific Northwest.
Each stencil design represents an animal that I love. I have even written legends to go with them to inspire you in your art making. You can read more about my Wildland Creatures on StencilGirlTalk
I have walked the fields where the horses and cattle roam, climbed over rocky cliffs where the rams once thrived, waded in the ocean water with the fish and watched the hawks fly.
This is my Inspiration…
These stencil designs can be used as a focal point or a background…
or both.
They are wonderful in a painting or collage or a page in your art journal. Pan pastels, distress inks, permanent inks and gesso are my favorite tools for stenciling.
The emblems that go with each creature symbolize their characteristics and the passage of time. I really enjoy mix and matching them with other stencils.
