Moving forward.

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

I have been posting my work online for quite a number of years now, since 2004 I think. I have gone through a number of iterations with various blogs on blogspot and then using wordpress.org. Some people have followed me throughout and for that I am very grateful. When I started this website, I originally […]

Mid Week Snow Day

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

Having the day off from work today is a real blessing for me. I do not mind having a break and staying in all day. It is a chance for me to relax a little and to work on some of my own work. I have been very frustrated lately with my artwork. I managed […]

Abstract watercolor on scrap paper.

Sunday, January 19, 2014

I’ve been feeling in such a slump recently that I’ve cast aside my goals for the time being in favor of making art for the pure joy of it. This is inspired by these quilts made from recycled saris: beautiful, imperfect and slightly sloppy.

2013 in Review

Monday, December 30, 2013

I took December off from my blog so I could enjoy my daughter and do lots of “Christmassy” things with her. I hope everybody had a nice holiday as well. When I think back on 2013, I realize that I didn’t get all that much artwork done, but it was a great year for me […]

Northampton Greenery

Friday, August 2, 2013

Last Sunday I visited Northampton, Mass. for the day. I like to visit the area about once a year, as I always find a lot of inspiration when I visit, and it reminds me of the years when I was in school. I’ve had a feeling of overwhelm lately which has led to me to […]

Refocus on Drawing and Sketching

Sunday, June 2, 2013

I’ve been putting off my artwork lately, mainly because I am too tired at the end of the day to do anything. The general lack of energy is bothering me, so I am focusing on improving my nutrition in general. Also, I have decided to pare down my immediate art goals. This month I am […]

Watercolors and Wine

Saturday, May 25, 2013

Last week my sister and I had the opportunity to take an afternoon watercolor class taught by artist Kara K. Bigda. It was held at the Hardwick Winery and the class was combined with a wine tasting. I had a great time and it was also a fun day with my sister (going out for […]

Art for the Arts Show

Sunday, April 28, 2013

Yesterday I had my two pieces, A Mild Winter and Blue Green Waters in the Art for the Arts Show presented by the Auburn MA Cultural Council. I have never displayed my work in a public forum before, so this was a big step for me on a personal level. I was offering them for […]
