A New Painting



This new painting, "Winter Pool", was inspired by hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. We took a trip there two winters ago and I was mesmerized by the amazing color of the pools. I've donated it to "Art on the Vine", an upcoming auction at the Oregon College of Art and Craft.

Mail Art Project

Art I've sent through the mail...



After my son Henry was born I had very little time to make art. And when I was able to get out to my studio, my attention span was short! So I made quick little paintings, often using watercolor, goauche or ink. On a whim, I started sending them to friends and my mail art project was born. I included a stamped, self-addressed envelope and looked forward to collecting the mail. Now in its second year, my mail art project still motivates me to make art. To see more images of art I've sent and art I've received go to my flickr account. To learn more about mail art check out this cool book about mail art ( my art is included on page 94).

PDX Window Project



This image is a close-up of a 25 foot long painting on Dura-lar titled "Flood". I installed it in a window at PDX gallery last spring as part of their on-going window project. To see more images go to my flickr account.
