I am so happy to have arrived at my favorite workshop destination, Wildacres, NC, located in the beautiful blue ridge mountains. It is lovely here and the weather is quite a nice change from hot, sticky, Florida in July.
The work part starts this afternoon. Lots of new printmaking techniques to explore. I can't wait!
I will try and post some progess as I work this week!

Spaces article


Spaces article

I was so excited to see the article, I mentioned months back, about my artwork. It's in the latest (July/Aug 09) issue of Spaces magazine. Maria Sonnenberg wrote the article and Brian Abrahamson was the photographer. "Life Affirming Strokes" is the title of the piece.
I am glad it mentions my mom and dad and their life-long philosophy of giving, that has inspired me to use my passion in art to assist others. It is also great to see several of my paintings in my "collectors" homes. Let me know what you think.
I am packing for my annual art workshop at Wildacres in NC. This will be my 9th year attending the continuing ed summer program of Ringling College of Art & Design. I am planning to do several updates to my blog while I am there to share some of the excitement.
