So there was a snake incident a couple of weeks ago. Let me set the scene. It was an evening like any other evening. After having just washed my hair I was minding my own business drying it under my salon style dryer. This has been my preferred method of drying my...

A mink has found Studio Gardens. The little monster has single-handedly killed 8 out of my 13 koi fish. It’s been a massacre. I hadn’t noticed a decline in my number of fish until mid-late February. Not much for cold temperatures, I don’t go out to...

This was my first year to be asked to attend, as a selling artist, at Bee Tree Pottery’s Christmas at the Cabin. I was so thrilled and honored to be asked by my friend Tom Wintczak who is a well known potter locally and nationally. This was the 13th Annual Event...

Just this morning, I’ve selected twelve paintings I created this year to be in my 2022 art calendar. I’m never early to release these and sometimes, more often than I like, I don’t get around to making calendars until after the new year has arrived....
