Wow, it’s done! This last set of collages was the most difficult yet. I fell behind again, but managed again to catch up. I almost quit around the mid-80s but figured if I was that close, I HAD to keep going. Does it feel good? Yes, definitely. I am happy that I did the 100 […]
ALMOST finished! Just another couple weeks left! I have found it challenging to keep up with this set of days. I have had a couple of shows, including Boston Mills Artfest, and other events that have taken up time and I fell behind a couple of times. Despite that, I kept up and caught up! […]

The Sentinels are a group of six very tall pine trees that stand along the edge of my backyard. They are the first things I see when I look out the window in the morning and the last ones I see at night. Knowing they are there gives me a sense of safety and security. […]
If your plans include a visit to the Cleveland Botanical Garden early this summer, be sure to visit the Guren Art Gallery on the 2nd floor. Between May 22 and July 8, Shannon Casey and I are showing our artwork in an exhibit entitled, “Trees I Have Known and A Few Shrubs”. If the title […]
The 100 Day Project continues! For 100 days, I am doing a small collage, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, in a wire-bound sketchbook. Why? Because: I want to. It takes discipline and follow-through, which are habits I want to foster. I love working in a series – doing lots of things on a theme. I feel […]
