A Letter Of Gratitude To My Squarespace Website Designers

September 22, 2018

When my art gallery closed and I could no longer rely on their website for my online presence, I had to fend for myself.

A Letter Of Gratitude To My Family And Friends

September 17, 2018

My cabinets, closets, drawers, shelves, and spaces under beds are crammed with sketchbooks and artworks ~ typical artist angst spilling out onto pages and papers over years and years that nobody sees (except a few friends).

The crazy idea of including a blog on my website and putting these private musings out into the world is so paralyzingly frightening, I decided to do it.
