check her out, make her yours 18”x24”, acrylic on panel, $1350 to the first asking nicely. This price includes s&h inside the contiguous US. Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Originally I was calling these paintings Momma Bears, having their roots in the symbol of a mother bear in protection mode. However, as Sky has slowly taken up more and more real estate in the paintings, I do believe a better moniker is “Sky Bear.” If you missed my analogy last time, I’m using the shape of Bear as ancient protector, and Sky represents an embrace or immeasurable space that surrounds each of us equally. I am using moods of Sky and her various elements - alongside Bear’s body language and other effects - to add layers of emotion and symbology to the painting. The viewer can then write their own interpretation or reading of the image, building a personal narrative. The button above will take you to my website for secure purchasing.

The challenge was this - how could I create a painting that spoke to the whiplash of rage and despondence I saw fellow humans experiencing? Fox stepped up for that role. She came to me in my dreams, qu...

I learned an extraordinary amount while there about how to amplify intentions and deepen the resonance of my art. I then spent the last week reflecting on the experience while building an action plan to keep me on track exploring the things unearthed with Emily.** All the work was worth it, just to see this painting come ...

I’ve made a living making art for 25 years (yikes! I know I’m dating myself, but this is something worth shouting about). But yet I know nothing. Seriously.   The more I learn, the more I realize I have literally no clue. Which is why I absolutely LOVE taking classes. This week I am working with an intimate group of crazy wonderfuls (I have so many new besties - I am totally with my people here!) led by the brilliant   Emily Ball . We each brought our own What Ifs and she’s steering us into the sticky, messy work of mining truths. Bear and Sky are here with me, of course, and today was both impossible and exhilerating. Impossible because I caught myself in a seething hot lie, thinking I was working outside of my comfort zone and realizing that it was still well within arm’s reach. Exhilerating because when I realized I needed to hopscotch right over that edge into serious risk taking, there was zero bleeding. Much of what I made was really, really bad (if it had veins, it woul...
