🎨 A little more about my creative life…
Most people know me for my paintings, but my creativity shows up in my community work too. I recently shared that part of my story in the Women in Preservation series with Preserve Arkansas—how I grew up, what shaped my love of place, and the preservation projects we’re working on in Eureka Springs.
If you want to see how art, story, and community all weave together in my world, you can watch it here:

Recovery is happening!!!! It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’m doing it! I haven’t done much art. I just get so tired by the afternoon. Any suggestions on making art easy would be appreciated.

I just set up my art box next to the chair I’ll be in while I recover from surgery. It’s got a little bit of everything!

I’ve been traveling and then got sick. I’ve just not had the energy or voice to be able to film a video. This is the first time I’ve been in my studio for a few weeks. I’ll be back I just need to stop sniffling!

I’m working on abstract backgrounds that I will eventually paint landscapes and still life paintings over. They are on 12x12 wooden panels from Dick Blick and so nice to work on. This week’s video is all about how hard it’s been to do art lately and how I’m rectifying that. What are you up to?

I’m continuing to practice landscape painting and this is closer to where I want to be. It’s simplified, full of textures and unexpected colors. I think I need to keep experimenting!
