Got to be briefly interviewed on the Central Oregon Daily News morning show last Thursday at 5:20am. What a thrilling experience!

My #book was added to the Deschutes #library, and I have given one presentation at the Sunriver location this past Friday, and will hold another presentation on Wednesday (May 7 at 6:30pm) at the downtown Bend library. So grateful for people's interest in my work.

It is a keen observation on her part.
Thank you! It has been almost two years since I got to just draw a model from live. I feared I would feel rusty and awkward, but the pencil moved across the paper effortlessly.
My adventures as a crafting mother continue. Made this hobby horse from old socks, fabric scraps and a cool stick we found in the front yard after the last storm. It will serve as a prop for my son's school play next week.

Came across this post and wondering if I could get away with doing the same....
Got some much overdue live figure drawing time in last night. Here are a few of the graphite drawings from the session at the Workhouse in Bend, Oregon.

Craving in-person connections and decided to start a Meetup group in Central Oregon (where I live). Calling it "Expressive Art Collective" and hoping to attract locals who enjoy art and conversation. Join in if you are geographically close!

Many people are here because of the behavior of Meta and X, so the content of the book I am recommending may not be a huge surprise to most of us. Still, the sad validation, and information that goes beyond what I already expected to be true, are worth reading. Please read #carelesspeople

For years I have told anyone willing to listen that plants scream when they need something. This study is validating.
Sounds emitted by plants under stress are airborne and informative: Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
My son is 10. It is his assignment from school. I am not sure that they will receive a grade beyond a check for having attempted the assignment, and there is definitely no competition, but they will all exhibit their craftsmanship on an afternoon for the parents to come visit the school.
My youngest kid is learning about the Oregon Trail, and had to build a #wagon. He got frustrated with my design choices and built his own, but I finished mine anyways. I think it turned out rather neat.

My newest/youngest #houseplants are thriving and I am so proud. Look at these beauties!

Oh no! Get well soon.
My latest #reduction #print #linocut #edition is finished! After a long day in the studio, 35 pieces are drying. 25 of them will go to Denmark as my contribution to Tegn oG TRYK Artist Magazine. The prompt is "Not just for pleasure" and I am happy with how it came out.

Over the years, I have contributed to five editions of #Body&Soul Artist Magazine by #Corvinus Presse bound and distributed by Hendrik Liersch in Berlin, Germany. Here are the five books - covers in the first image and open to my contribution in the second. I did one of the covers.

The #carving of the second layer for my #reductioprint #linocut is ready. I might not have time to print it for several days, which will give extra time for the first layer's ink to dry thoroughly. I am excited about the progress.
#printmaking #art #flexcut
Printed the first layer of this #reduction #print #inprogress that will go to Denmark. As the #ink is drying, carving of the plate continues.

This limited edition will go to Denmark. Can't wait to print the first color tomorrow. Just two layers for this piece, and slightly varying colors of each layer.

I finally laid out the whole #variededition of my latest #reductionprint #linocut series, climbed on a chair and took a picture of them all together. There are 34 pieces with two artist prints (not in the image). Hues make such a big difference in how shapes are perceived!

Thank you! 😊
Most of my #figure #drawing #artwork is made from life, ideally in 10-15 minutes poses. This is a rare example of a more developed piece for which I used a photograph. I was able to capture the model's likeness, define his muscles, and work out light and shadows better.

I have been fortunate to serve as a #model for some amazing artists. Here I am in front of a #portrait painted by the incomparable J Brodrick.
Multi-plate #linocut I called "Magical Cat". I combined carvings I made as a repeat pattern for large scale pieces since they had a symmetry with a carving of my #cat and his eye ended up perfectly in the center as if rays of colors were streaming from him.

#monoprint I made last week trying to capture the warmth of light spilling over snow-covered pines. The winter scene is painted onto a clear plate and the rays of light are printed using a #linocut #carving

My #cat is a frequent inspiration and model for my #artwork and here is one of the many #linocut pieces of him.

#monoprint using #linocut plates I carved in 2023. As I was working on my book last year, this was one of the artworks I put together as a possible cover image. I ended up going with a different piece for the cover of my book, but I love the warm colors and rich textures I put together here. #art
