I never made a cyanotype before and always wanted to try it. Yesterday, I finally had the opportunity at an event hosted by Arts+, the community arts organization where I am on faculty. I choose a sprig of grass as my subject (What kind? Well, I do not even attempt to key grasses; you haveContinue reading “Cyanotype project”

Print Exchange
Every so often, I remember how fun it is to participate in a print exchange. This year, I choose to participate in the Emerald Print Exchange. The wonderful thing about print exchanges is that the thrill and benefits last long after the exchange ends because you are the recipient of a packet of wonderful printsContinue reading “Print Exchange”

If this looks a bit familiar it is because you may have received a similar post recently that did not load quite right so I took it down to fix and hopefully this one works. Below is a very short video of an Artist Book I made call Neighborhoods. It was made from a 12″Continue reading “Redux: Neighborhoods Artist Book”
My Journey in the Visual Arts: Part 10 of 10
This is a series of short posts that will piece together how I ended up in the visual arts. I don’t recall an Ah-Ha situation where I knew from a particular moment that I wanted to be an artist. It just sort of crept up on me. It has now been over 35 years sinceContinue reading “My Journey in the Visual Arts: Part 10 of 10”
New Artist Book: Kudzu – The Vine that Ate the South
I never heard of it before, which is odd since it was first introduced a the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. Now, it is all around me. Every area has its own invasive species and I knew the ones in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. But until I saw Kudzu – a highly invasiveContinue reading “New Artist Book: Kudzu – The Vine that Ate the South”
The Potato ~ Tomato Adventure
For three years I worked on a small commercial farm in North Carolina. The main thing we farmed in the summer were tomatoes. I do not recall how many rows we planted but the rows were between 50 to 100 yards long. Let’s put it this way, there were more than one row! In addition,Continue reading “The Potato ~ Tomato Adventure”

Food, Culture, and Assumptions
Since I have mainly lived in the same geographic area for most of my life, the cultural encounters I had with food tended to be more influenced by late 19th and early 20th century European immigrants from many countries. Upon moving to the South, I realized that since the population was historically different, many ofContinue reading “Food, Culture, and Assumptions”
When Your Artwork Finds You Again
Every once in awhile, I hear from former customers regarding work they purchased and it is always lots of fun to hear how they have lived with the work through the years. I had such an experience last week when a customer from the early 1990s contacted me to ask if the piece he purchasedContinue reading “When Your Artwork Finds You Again”
Redoing an Unsuccessful Print
A few posts back I wrote about a print I felt was unsuccessful. I had some wonderful feedback and decided to redo the print. The first thing I did was change the position of the girl. So unfortunately for the idea of a new working title she is no longer holding a “broken golf club”Continue reading “Redoing an Unsuccessful Print”
