What's Cookin'

I’m posting this picture to dispel any visions you may have of my glamorous studio space.  For the last 27 years and still going, I have created my art from small spaces. Although I would love to have more space to create, I have made it work and work I do in my kitchen most days. Counters become just another surface to pile stuff in progress, and tabletops are another venue for ideas left over. Sometimes I like to peek into those fun magazines that feature artists’ studio spaces that appear so tidy and color coded and delightfully embellished in ribbons and cool artifacts. I wonder if they are really that organized after the camera has left the scene. For me, it’s about the creative experience. I could potentially create anywhere as this picture suggests. Perhaps one day, I will be fortunate enough to be able to combine my many supplies and projects and put them into one place with easy access. I would like that. So, if you are waiting to create your masterpiece or start your life’s work if and when you get that perfect niche, wait no longer. Today is the day!

Happy 2013!!

Happy New Year!! With the arrival of the new year comes a time for clearing out and making room for new work.

I will have ceramics and artwork available for purchase. Please read below for complete info on the sale:

Wish Upon A Star

As the end of this year is winding down rapidly, I reflect on its comings and goings, lessons and losses.  I am forever grateful to all of you who continue to support my artwork, come to my shows,  and validate my spirit with the sharing of your enthusiasm and kudos. It keeps the wheels turning and reminds me of the good things in the day to day as well as the long term that I hope to experience.  So as you travel through this holiday season, take a breather and remember that life is fleeting and unpredictable, but worth the journey. We are intrinsically joined as a string of stars in the heavens.  Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a new year filled with joy and wonder!

Chistmas Goodies!

Now in my Etsy shop  you can find many sweet holiday dishes like these!

Halloween Goodness

Halloween is just around the corner! I love this time of the year. The big harvest moon, the scent of wood burning and the chill in the morning air. Here in California, the real colors don’t show up until mid-November. But a girl can dream and dream I shall of my carved jack-o-lantern waiting to be born tomorrow evening. Black and orange décor for a visual feast, lots of candy for the trick or treaters, and a secret stash of chocolate for myself. Halloween,for me,  is like pancakes for dinner. It’s just plain good ol’ comfort food for the soul. Have yourself a merry little Halloween and stay out of trouble………or not!
