for a short period.  I spent time with my sister, who lives in Kenya; and I spent

time with my mom, who has been in the hospital.

And now, I'm back!  Painting and drawing in full swing.

It feels good to be alive.  As Elie Wiesel said, "the opposite of life

is not death, but insensitivity."  When we are doing what we love, we are sensitive

to the world around us, thus we are truly alive, and others benefit.

. . .

I moved my studio from downtown to my home.  This made a lot of sense for me

because with three little daughters, I can work any time and all the time.

I will miss seeing those of you who have come by my studio over the years.

I will keep you posted on upcoming shows, and hope to see you around.

New work, on my easel, in my new studio. It has wonderful lighting, a high ceiling, and lots of room to be creative.
