Finding Harmony
A lot is going on on our planet right now and I crave, so deeply crave harmony. The belief that our convictions are right and others are wrong has us so deeply divided. Conquerors in all varieties are flaunting their prowess. Whether it is within ourselves, our community, the larger landscape of humans or as [...]
Punxsutawney Phil?
I have missed having my studio open for visitors and participating and visiting art shows.

I now have heat!
