I'm obsessed! I'll admit it ....I absolutely love to design and carve stamps. There is something so relaxing and satisfying about it. The process of carving is somewhat like sculpting so to speak.... and I do love to sculpt in clay. Think of the possibilities! I use my stamps for collage, clay works, Fabric printing, and if I could tattoo myself with them I would! Ha....hummm....
So..the Big News! My latest online Class Block Prints and Watercolor is up and running! Now you can learn how to carve into a soft block material that can be reused for years to come.
and here are some other examples for stamping in clay and fabric....
And...there is a 10% discount till October 23, 2022. Use BLOCKPRINT10 at purchase.
I'm very pleased to announce that "Agave Continuum", a fiber work, has received first place in the Fiber and Book Arts Exhibition at Municipal Gallery, Escondido, CA.
The reception will be held Saturday, October 8 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm
This installation is based on the continuance of beauty with decay. The woven sections were stitched with waxed linen threads using hues that represent the plant when it was growing.
I also have 2 other works in the Exhibition. As well as a work in the Save the Ocean Art and Poetry Exhibit in the same gallery. Scroll down for details!
This work was part of the Travel Dream Instillation created earlier this year.

I recently taught 2 workshops in Oregon at the Sitka Center for Arts and Ecology. I had never traveled to that area and I was so delighted to be invited. The Center has been in this location since the 70's, deep in the woods along the coast north of Lincoln City.
The students were a delight, the staff beyond helpful and friendly, and the ambiance exceptional...I hope to return next year to teach in this wondrous place.
I also traveled to points north for a few days. So nice and cold and windy vs. my home. It was over 100 degrees while I was away. I planned it well.
Till next year......
My Grandmother used to say "Get the lead out" ...when I didn't write my thank you notes in a timely matter. So typical of me because I just wanted to draw, paint, and make stuff out of clay. So...with that in mind....
It's Time to get a kick start on Creativity.
Its Time to give your self the freedom to draw and paint just for you. Your own private lessons.
My 3 Online courses are on Sale till August 28th at midnight.

This is the first time I will teaching at the Center and I was thrilled to be asked. I've never toured the wild Oregon coast so this will be a treat. Plus, I'll be teaching at this beautiful Center in the forest.
