above, below, within

My show at St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana opens tonight! I wanted to share some pictures of the work and installation for those of you that can't make it to the opening. I have had an amazing time working on putting this show together, and now for the celebration!

feeling the pulse of the sea

a walk along the beach the other day allowed me to see the pulse of the sea. the snow gathered on the sand ripples revealing the patterns that the water created from flowing in and out. the contrast of the white snow revealed the colors of winter, beautiful rusts and moss.

little magical creatures

just love kyle field's work. peter got me these little magical creatures, and they have been making me smile and dream about secret fairy lands. check out his site for more goodness.

new work and the mid-west

I wanted to post some pictures of recent work that I have just shipped out to Indiana for my show at St. Mary's College titled "above, below and within" opening January 22nd. I'm really looking forward to a trip out to the good ole' mid-west, it's been a while since I've been landlocked and drank pop. Check out my website, I have loading some pictures up of new sculptures and works on paper.

view from my studio

so hard to get anything done, but i can't complain.

some favorite pictures from the past month

Shacks, shacks and more shacks

crytsal couture

I have been kind of obsessed with the free people blog lately...and, I think they might be catching on.

Can someone please buy these for me??

colorscope

I found this via the paper source.

I can't get enough chartreuse in my life, and apparently it helps me explore the inner meaning of life!

a droopy delight

Peter picked these flowers for me on a hike he did this weekend in Vermont. By the time they got to maine they were a little droopy, by I love them just the same. I had fun playing with them in the studio.

some pictures from the weekend...

3 things with rings

i've been drawn to circles
and what they represent
in the past couple of days.

in my drawing
i've been thinking
about the use of this shape
and how it can represent
the passage between two places.


a path or pattern
in which something goes
from one thing to another.

bits and pieces of things to come...
