May 23, STILL cold and raining.  5 days now.  I have been working, reworking some of my early abstractions from last year.  They have gotten so much better... Kind of surprising how much one can keep learning even when one gets older.  I am working from my heart, and it's easier now, more direct,  than when I had a lot of ideas and worries about it all!!

 

My studio is in an old elementary school, 801 North Lincoln Drive in Hancock. I love visitors!  I am usually there but please call first: 906-370-3183.  My hours are erratic.

 

Locally my work is at the Ziyad Gallery, the Art Center, and in my studio for viewing.  In Madison I am still at the Grace Chosy Gallery, and in Petoskey at the Crooked Tree, and now in Ironwood at the Z Place.

 

 



Artworks : Paintings

All of my work is a reflection of my surroundings and how they connect with my own inner space.  The relationships of shapes and colors, the structure holding them together, is as important as the subjects.  As I live in the North Woods, each image in my painting is somehow a part of my life here, and the composition, which results from the diallogue of working, listening, responding to the work in process, is directly connected to the inner structure of my life and spirit.
