Things are gearing up for my show next month!  I'm almost finished creating the work and wanted again to show you all details of some of the pieces.  The Adam Series is based on the creation story in the book of Genesis where God makes Adam out of the clay/dirt.  I've incorporated dirt in each piece to symbolize the union of God's hand and humankind plus bringing in an actual representation of the earth itself.  I've used the basic colors of the human skin - red, black, brown, yellow, white to loosely represent humankind.

I will be exhibiting with Jennifer Davey, whose abstract works are wonderful!  I'm very excited to be apart of this exhibit!!!

The works will be exhibited at POINT Gallery, 765 Santa Fe, Denver, CO opening June 5, 2015.  So come down on First Friday and check it out!

An Uncomfortable Place

 11-9-2020 I hit the wall. I got to the point where I couldn't create. I'm slowly coming out of it but it lasted a couple of months. I couldn't create. The only thing I could do was rest and think. Even then, thinking was difficult. It has been a long while since I was in this place. I'm usually very productive and creative but this time, all of my energy was sapped. It was an uncomfortable place. I had painted over 30 paintings and almost 20 drawings. I felt I was on a roll but it came to a screeching halt. Was I tired? Yes. Did I feel like I exhausted my possibilities with my work? No. But I felt a change coming. What that is, I'm not sure yet. I feel a new sense of stirring which will inform my work but I'm in the dark as to what it is. I know I need to get into the studio and work it out. This is unknown and uncharted territory of which I embrace. I'm excited to see what comes out of it but I'm still tired. I'm still in this place of inaction. I&

Well, I got the call... the one I was expecting but didn't want to get.  My mom needs to either to have a companion with her or we need to move her into assisted living.  My mother has dementia and it is progressing.  We've been uneasily waiting for this day to come and it is now here. The call came yesterday while I was on my lunch hour at work so I was able to take it.  As would be expected, a myriad of questions and emotions filled my mind and heart and I found that I could think somewhat clearly but not enough to ask everything I needed to ask.  That's what today is for...  pulling myself together to handle everything that mom needs.  Spending time on the phone with family and agencies has been draining but it is that season of life.  Things are the way they are; it is what it is. Many thoughts are going through my head regarding mom's care and making sure she is comfortable and secure in her surroundings.  The last thing we all want is to make a decision that w
