That Time In Between

Mandala with Blessing Sticks from Art Unraveled… These are the days between midsummer and late summer. Here in my perch above the Klamath River the flowers are reaching as tall as they can before they go to seed. I am nestling in the way I always do after I travel… especially when I teach. I have been to Colorado where I taught with my dear friend Leslie Marsh in the vacation home of my other…

To Find Your Art

Summer days, mornings filled with wonder. Sleepy afternoons, daydreams with wings and stars that smile. I awake each day to find my art, to hold on to it and then let it go. To find myself, and then relax into being who I am. This is what I am learning.

A Case of Curiosities in Taos, New Mexico

A few days ago I returned from an amazing retreat that I taught with Seth Apter from The Altered Page.

Winter Days, Moonlit Nights

These days are cold and white… A perfect time for working in my studio and window watching. In the winter we have more birds than ever visit our feeders, the jays and song birds, the quail and woodpeckers. Small and large birds all together in the maple tree out front with the frozen river and snowy fields beyond. And seeds hang on to their branches… their time to fly is not here yet. And on…
