I'm intense and so is my art: bright colors, bold designs, clean lines that energize and add interest to any space. I layer oil paint and cold wax as thick as frosting on a cake. My many years in Africa shows up in my work: no fear, vibrant energy, rhythmic calm.

Hi Reader, Well, I took the leap and this is what happened! / I'm entitling it "Corduroy", which happens to be one of my all-time favorite fabrics. You really need to see it in person to appreciate the texture. And if you live around Phoenixville, you can! It's in the window at Art on Bridge, and this is a First Friday weekend. And on Saturday, there's a reception for guest artist Meere Alve from 11-3. If it's me you want to see, I'll be at the gallery Saturday from 3 - 7.

Every day, with enough time poking around online, I've been discovering new techie wonders that even I can make work . . . . . ....
Hi Reader, I've been focusing on art since 2020 and loving it. I've learned lots of skills and especially how to fight the inner battles and believe in myself. I've kept my communication linked to my artwork, which meant leaving out big parts of my life. That didn't feel quite right. I am an artist but not only an artist! I’ve lived cross-culturally for decades, learned language and culture, helped translate the Bible into local languages and then helped people engage with it. I was one of...
Hi Reader, You might have a copy of The Happiness Factor, which combines my love of art, food, and story-telling. The eating adventures continue! This year in Kenya on safari (an actual physical safari, not an internet browser), I was served Tomato Orange Soup. You heard it: tomatoes and oranges. It was an amazing flavor like nothing I'd tasted before. The Happiness Factor: food, art and stories from around the world I forgot all about it until my tomato plants began producing. Lots and lots...
