I had been an artist’s model once before. When I was in the energetic heights of being an art student at Ventura College. The day the model didn’t show up for our life drawing class, I volunteered. This was back in the 80’s. It was one of the best exercises for me as an artist. […]
O.K. O.K.O.K.When I was looking online for inspiration and found Margaret Fabrizio’s (Atree3 videos) The cover photo on the youtube video that caught my eye was of a sunburst/starburst. That was the feeling that I wanted….A center and growth. Pulling out from that center….I wanted a pattern to follow. As I watched and listened, I found someone speaking a language […]
This is the last quilt I made (2009). Austin gave me the silk from Thailand. Years later, in Italy, I got the velvet samples from Etro. And, as usual, some shim shimmery that caught my eye. Above is the quilt that I am making now. In what looks like a pile of fabric, I […]

I’m a bit terrified because this was one of the symptoms my severely depressed friend complained about. “Thick blood, and feeling like being stuck in […]
This morning’s walk took me further, beyond my usual route, ending up with my feet in the mud at the edge of the shore. There I could feel the energy of a storm just gone through the east, lapping in the heavy wake. My west coast people are concerned for me in these storms. I […]
Over a week ago the sun was ducked behind the storm named Sandy. One week ago I was waiting for what was to come, after having prepared for it to the best of my ability. Bottled water, food, water in the bathtub, flashlight batteries, etc. This area was not touched by the storm as drastically […]
