What’s Been Going On?
April was a busy month and flew by very fast. I just want to update here to document (mostly for myself) what I’ve been up to. I’ve been fortunate to have my artwork included in several recent exhibitions (and more to come soon!) I exhibited in the Oak Park Art League’s annual members exhibit with…
At Home Artist’s Residency 2025
Today I am embarking on a new project. One that I intend to be my primary focus for the next 4 months. Why call it a “residency” when I am working from my home studio in much the same way that I always do? Well, it helps me to stay focused and to prioritize this…
2024 Off to a Good Start!
The first six months of the year have flown by, and I’ve been busy with many creative projects: The 100 day project, new tapestry weavings, basketry, and some travels. But today I will start with some of my best news! In April and May I was awarded with two different art awards! I submitted my…

Days 20 to 27 of Leave, Weave, Discard or Donate
Days 20 to 27 of LEAVE, WEAVE, DISCARD or DONATE my at home artist’s residency: Time is getting away from me this week! All is good, I’m just getting lost in my weaving, which I’d rather be doing than posting/writing. But, it was my intention at the start of this process to keep…
Day 17, 18 & 19: Leave, Weave, Discard or Donate
Day 17 of LEAVE, WEAVE, DISCARD or DONATE my at home artist’s residency: ○ It wasn’t a very productive day, very hot and humid. I didn’t even draw a Creativity Oracle… ○ But, I ended the day with “Knot a Problem” a fiber art evening at the Oak Park Art League. Got a chance to…
