I was surprised to see how many people still check in since I rarely post on this site. I really do appreciate the interest and feel somewhat guilty. I don't write as much as I used to which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a shift.

Below is a 'peerie' update from my seasonal newsletter that is featured in it's entirety on my website here.

I’m
finally feeling connected between the parallel worlds of Niagara and
Shetland, falling into a rhythm of making work in response to the
different lands. The searching is constant, thank goodness. Work
intersects but will not be as one and I like that. The ‘making’ process
has now opened up an overlapping dialogue in the physicality of
application - the tools I use for the Shetland seas are being applied to
the escarpment trees. There are few trees in Shetland- Niagara has no
seas…
I will be going back to Shetland for a June residency, this time in a lighthouse perched way up on a cliff—I’m excited!

Upcoming classes
I've met and worked with inspiring and talented workshop participants this winter and am thankful as it is the students that stimulate my creative energy -I hope I've enhanced thier own creative verve.
Just posted are Spring workshops in oil, encaustic, cold wax and open studio classes. I'm in the midst of scheduling plein air and direct-encounter making workshop dates, so please stay tuned!
