Magic Mentor
Yikes! I’m leaving this week - the Bloomington, Illinois, “Mentor and Student” Opening Reception is Friday, September 9 from 5-7PM. And, I’m flying out just in time to be there! It’s a thrill to be exhibiting with Dennis and the other graduate students. Wait, I’ve forgotten to introduce Dennis...
It Smells Like Whiskey Here?!!
The journey to Bloomington, Illinois for the Mentor & Student Exhibition was incredible. Meeting with people I haven’t seen in years took my breath away. Stan who I worked with part time. John Schulenburg (Schulenberg Consulting), a former jewelry student of mine, who sipped whiskey mixed with...
Cereus Moonlight
Petal Protruding I’d like to share a journey with you about a cactus, yes, a cactus. Large cuttings were planted last year. This month we noticed a growth coming out of the side of each plant. Upon closer inspection, we realized they were blooms about to take off. So naturally, we watched it all...
A Reopening & an Honor
I'll be here showing off my model chandelier and enjoying stories. Join us! When Kim came to me asking if I would put together an art installation for the Townies, I was incredulous. Really? It’s such an honor to be considered let alone to be selected. Oh, what are the Townies? A fabulous Ojai...
Egyptian Sunset
Ojai Visions Who could have guessed that we would have so much frost in the latter part of December, early January? It’s a little colder than usual in southern California and I’ll admit I’m not used to it even though the cold of the Midwest is where I grew up with snow a norm for several months....
Duck Off to the Museum
First of all a big thank you to each and every one of you! Did you know you are always assisting me even when you might think that’s not possible? Well, do I have a story for you. My jewelry and scarves are about to be shipped to the Mingei International Museum in San Diego. It’s all because of...
It’s November?!!
We’re into November already! What, whoa, hold on! How did that happen? Wait, that means wonderful food which I love, especially with Keith, the chef extraordinaire in the household. Can’t you just smell the turkey roasting in the oven? And don’t get me started on the apple pie that’s in the near...
Artful Conversations
Artful Conversations First off, thanks for visiting my open studio this month. And, for those of you, who live too far away, I hope we can connect soon. Great to see everyone who stopped by. I was overwhelmed with the interest in my work and the amazing conversations I had. You made my day by...
Ojai Studio Artist Tour Weekend!
What’s happening this weekend? How about visiting my studio in Ojai during the Ojai Studio Tour? It’s free this year so take advantage of it. And, you’ll also be invited to peruse my beautiful, new outdoor studio. Keith and I have been working on it most of this year. Last year the dream for it...
