Stone Canoe

Treescape Aurora Borealis on the cover of issue 16 of Stone Canoe

I have been super bad at posting this year. both here and instagram but mostly here. life has felt like a roller coaster at some parts of the year and a free fall at others.there’s been a lot on the table in my personal life, and fitting everything in?! well often art making takes precedence over explaining art making and the book keeping aspects of being an artist. We had some ducks born to our ducks that seemed to take over the entire summer, a dog who needed surgery and another dog who needed rescuing, or was it us that needed to be rescued again after a year of first rescue dog having a ton of issues. In the art aspects of life this year Treescape Aurora Borealis was featured in and on the cover of stone canoe arts and literature magazine as well as on a utility box in seatac! In fact three pieces are becoming utility wraps in SeaTac. the locations will be:

international boulevard and 180th street, 24th ave s @ 154th st and the final location is 29ave s and s154th all in Seatac. Lasy year I was accepted onto the Roster for approved public artists with the wa state arts commission. I am ready and willing to get my public art feet activated when I am called upon. what else? a lot of rejections, best I am like a duck and let it glide off my back as water droplets that cast aspersions as to the success rate of my artistic self.



Treescape Aurora Borealis has gotten a lot of play this year.
