I have taken a leap while holding the very strong and loving hand of a talented and inspiring woman.  Ms. Katie pushed and pulled me into getting a website out there!  She did all the work and I just had to muster up the guts and push the publish button.  It could have taken many more years if not for her encouragement.  Thank you, dear friend.  I will never be able to thank you enough.

So many people to thank, really!  Samantha, at samsspade.com in Hamilton, Montana is taking very good care of a few of us local artists for the month of December.   She generously opened the bird room to celebrate local artists, such as Jen Ogden, Annie Allen, Lisa Classen and Carol LaCroix and we had a wonderful first Friday reception with a lot of incredible members of our community in attendance.  We were feeling the love.

And my thanks would never be complete without mentioning my boys.  All three of them. Living with an artist mother can't always be easy but they continue to surround me with love and support.  I am a lucky girl.  That is for sure.

Thank you!

Oh, what a night!

Thank you to everyone who came out Friday night and visited me at Art City.  Especially my mama, who drove all the way over from Lewiston.  

To be so well received is a dream come true and spurs me on to create more.

With that said, I am out to the studio to work on orders.  

Oh, and my boys are rockin' it in Sydney with the Bitterroot Swim Team.  

I'm so proud of them and their super dad.

Getting ready for a little show at Art City. 

I love how it looks like my hands are moving in fast motion.  

Super speedy!

Finn took a bunch of pictures of me at work in my studio.  

Fun Special Orders

These were so fun to paint for two special little people.

Water, Earth, Air and Fire appear in stories throughout time as a way for people to better understand their relationship to the natural world and the universe.  Modern conveniences have created a disconnect from these four elements and with my hands in clay I explore our human connection with these elements and our partnership in survival.

Growing up in Oregon near the river and currently living along the river in Montana, I have found peace in the natural world and the elements that sustain us.  I love clay and working with my hands.  Combining these loves I am able to delve into my ideas and form them into visual pieces that extend the tranquility and quiet of the natural world to the viewer, guiding them to a place beyond the extraneous bustle of modern life.

I am happy to have my hands in clay and putting my ideas into form.  

Oh dear!  No post since March.  That is just no good.  Stay tuned for more studio goodness.  It is just around the corner.  Oooh la la.
