dog book progress
I’ve decided to call my upcoming artist book of dog portraits “Dogs by Sue Clancy”. Simple and straightforward feels best… so here’s what the cover will look like:

happy doggy new year
I worry about human adults. I worry that people forget to play. This worry has included me. So I’ve been trying to do something about that. Dog portraits are my effort to remember to play. I’ve been purposefully spending time enjoying something and making notes and in the process I created an art exhibit’s worth of…

coffee book featured in Colorado
My artist book “Coffee Beans Plus H2o” is featured at the Abecedarian Gallery in Colorado! I’ve loved it that the gallery owner and some other artist’s who’ve commented privately have “gotten it” that in this book I was playing with a concept of time! I’d worried about whether that was getting across so I can’t tell you how…

Lettuce Peas

the art of a book basket
Here in the Pacific Northwest I am able to go to a farm and “U-pick” my own fruits and veg – often the farmer will hand me a bucket to hold my freshly picked produce. Recently at my local library had about 16 books balanced between my hip and my arm while I used my other hand…
