Tomorrow we start our road trip to the Bellevue Museum Arts Fair. I love this show and I hope that if you are in the area you come and visit me there in Booth Q-24. Its a beautiful showing of artists and the best of craft and jewelers from across the country. This year I only participated in two fairs (La Quinta was the other.) I’ve enjoyed a break and its given me time to pursue other avenues within my work but I am looking forward to returning to Bellevue and seeing friends and my collectors from the past 12 years.
Check back soon – my website is in the process of being revamped! I gotta stay current. I’ll still have the blog but I’ll have a traditional website as well like the old days (of the early 200’s LOL!)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. The sun finally came out in Humboldt County – the most beautiful place on earth.

Its satisfying to see a body of work framed and ready to go after months and months of working in the studio. I couldn’t help but take a few pictures (below.) La Quinta is in the desert of Southern California, near Palm Springs and is a show that I have never participated in because it falls in the middle of the school year. With our daughter away at college, this is the first time we could take advantage of this well regarded event, which the Art Fair Sourcebook rated at #2 in the country in 2011. I’m excited to visit southern California, to be in this show and to get out of dodge for a while! It may be a working trip but for me I know it will feel like a vacation. Here is a link to my featured page at the La Quinta Art Festival website. The show runs from March 8-11 and all of the information you need can be found here. If you are in Southern California, check it out and come on by and see me in Booth #609. Its a beautiful show!

Let’s just say, I’m a Sensitive Cancerian and its been an interesting few months, few years. The beauty of living the life of an artist is that to be in pain is to be alive and deeply felt emotion begets art. The images that I find myself compelled to paint, tell an inner story. The patterns I’ve been attracted to are an attempt to create order, the use of color is a direct reflection of mood. I continue to be drawn to dwellings and architecture as a symbol of humanity or at times an anthropomorphic entity. I just posted more original work so have a look in the New Pastels Section on the right. I’m emerging from my studio to prepare to go on the road for the LaQuinta Arts Festival, a new venue for me. I’m excited about a trip to the desert! More on that in a few days.
