 I believe in the potential of imagination, creativity, community and culture. As a dedicated professional artist, business owner and educator I have enjoyed the energy and creative environment of Pioneer Square for many decades and as a member of the creative community, I have shared my artistic experience to inform, encourage and ennoble that environment.    I have been a professional fine

During the first part of this year, 2010, I began fundraising during studio events to support the efforts of a small group based in Bozeman Montana. Headed by a truly inspired individual, Greg Mortenson, the Central Asia Institute has brought education to young children in remote mountain villages of northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and the steppes of Mongolia. I have been an educator

Sometimes I get stuck in the back of the Cave. Working on ideas, gaining knowledge, creating new projects, rubbing two sticks together to make a fire. A new inspiration to light the way. So today, I am climbing here behind the controls, to reach a new altitude and put some spinning words into the Planetarium to lift it off the ground into a new perspective of the upper cloud formations of...

New ceramic Luminaries from the clay side of my studio are finding homes from Mazama, Washington in the North Cascades to Miller Falls, Massachusetts. These new creations started several years ago when I was looking for a great holiday subject to teach grade school scholars. Something magical. There were always snowmen and the usual season ideas and we had done winter scenes with mirror for a

Painting in oil has become one of the primary means of artistic expression since its development in the 15th century. It provides the artist with many advantages. With linseed oil as the binder for the color pigment, an extended drying time and a durable and flexible paint layer were the most important improvements over previous media along with many qualities of painted surface resulting in

POTTERS MUDEye! From Earth to Fire the Potter makes Stone.A Sticky Mess of Slugs and Worms, Pebbles and Pine-cone Chips.The Ice Walls that Sailed upon Boulders the size of Houses Big.It Sailed upon and Ground them down upon the Ice Walls course.And Ground them down first South then back again to North.Carved out Canyon and Salty Bay and ground down Mountain,That to this Day, Say in a Covering

A new series of Paintings is moving forward to a final finish. I call the four Paintings the Kyoto Series. The subjects are Koi and the prints of Utamaro. The Koi glide across the canvases in undulating shapes and vivid colors casting shadows upon the images of Utamaro (1753-1806), a Japanese painter and woodblock Artist.The school year is over where three days a week I have been teaching

It has been some time since I last posted. As that this blog is not what I would call active or interesting, it is time for a change. I am back. I have the canvas stretched so it is time for expressive imagery and interesting content. I look forward to generating a fire that everyone will enjoy and hopefully you will be touched and enlightened through. A book with pages that you will be
