riding the PR train
Kurt Vonnegut once said “Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted” and I’ve taken those words to heart. I even have Vonnegut’s statement pinned to the wall above my art studio work table. I believe that my creative out-put is…

more star stuff
I alluded in my last blog post about my newest fine art piece “If It’s Any Constellation” that when I start with one pattern design I tend to do several creative things with it.

Well, here is the rest of that story: After thinking of the cool pattern of the…

In addition to getting ready for a new one woman art exhibit scheduled for October 2016 via Caplan Art Designs I’ve been working on a new Oregon Coast article.
