Grade School Ideas for Adults
Midnight passed last night and my mind decided to wake up again. I wandered down the hallway in the dark thinking about my next show. An image of my books sitting on the corner, waiting to be signed passed through my mind and then new ideas started to form. The next thing I knew, YouTubeContinue reading “Grade School Ideas for Adults”
Miniature Worlds
Imagine living in a miniaturized world where everything shrinks down to the size of a dime. Last night, I spent hours sculpting croissants and donuts in that world. I felt like I entered a bakery filled with pink frosting and sprinkles. Creating smaller than life size food made me think about classic children’s stories andContinue reading “Miniature Worlds”
Memes and TikToks

Celebrating Independence
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence yesterday! I have to say that I’m thankful to live in a place where I can express myself through art and writing freely. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, and to never lack for food. Being a foodie, maybe I indulge a little much. There’s aContinue reading “Celebrating Independence”
Happy 4th of July!

A procession of boat parades, hours of activities on the water, and nights by the campfire will be in full force as we reach melting temperatures again.

The Circus Is In Town
Okay, the weekend was a little chaotic trying to get everything ready for show day but it paled in comparison to last night. I think a full blown circus decided to move into town for a few days because I feel like every performer in the show. Not only am I the plate spinning, acrobat,Continue reading “The Circus Is In Town”
Wielding Your Craft
The count day to my Featured Artist spot is only 3 days away and I finished a few more deadlines this weekend. I have to say that I feel comfort in returning to my keyboard to write because the challenges I set for myself for creating new pieces drained all my energy. Returning to somethingContinue reading “Wielding Your Craft”
