Mixed Media Artist
It seems that the majority of my arting has been done on the go. While I continue to try to get my art desk under control, I haven’t spent much time at it. So I’m getting pretty good at creating wherever I am and in mini-bursts. More often than not, time at my art desk …
From time to time most bloggers ask themselves the question. “What question?” you ask. That question. Why do we blog? If you are asking this question, pull up a seat and have a cold glass of peach infused ice tea. “Why this tea in particular?”you may well ask. “Why not plain? Why not coffee? “Because …
It’s getting to be a tradition for me – a class at Kept Creations in Whitman, Massachusetts each summer. This year my daughter took the class with me! Double the fun. Notice that even after washing up we were covered in paint. This year I took a class called Flips, Flops, Pockets and Cut-outs with Julie Fei-Fan …

Being a librarian, however, I get to do plenty of sleuthing, finding and scoring in the search for information. That search for connection is part …
It’s not easy to balance everything. That’s exactly the reason I am determined not to give up. So finding ways to sneak in more creativity is an art I want to pursue.

I’ve neglected my blog, I know, but I am glad to be back at my computer and posting. Frankly, I can’t really manage a post on my phone or iPad. Photos get posted to Instagram and then I move on to the next project. So my strategy going forward to is prioritize getting to my …
For the past few months I’ve been carefully using the time I have for creative endeavors…not everything can be accomplished at once.
