Blank Faces
Wildflowers, paper collage, 2022 (three short poems, or one poem in three parts in no particular order) i. what beginning? a cup of coffee a weather report but then the silence would be too much ii. an image has certitude; a mockingbird is surer of itself than that a pair of yellow socks dangle from […]

The Travelers & Other Art
The Travelers, paper collage, 2022 Here is a fresh batch of artwork. Exciting news: I recently picked up a bunch of vintage Arizona Highways magazines from the late 1960s-late 1970s. Most of these collages incorporate some of that imagery; although, I haven’t had a chance to really dive into the new magazines yet. Perhaps sometime […]

Self-Portrait with Machine No. 2
Self-Portrait with Machine No. 2, paper collage, 2022 I have multiple new collages to share with you, but I think Self-Portrait with Machine No. 2 deserves her own space. Indeed, some of you may remember Self-Portrait with Machine from last year. Both of these self-portraits are among my favorite–and among the most personally meaningful–collages I’ve […]

Desert Postcards & Other Art
Desert Postcards, paper collage, 2022 Here is a new batch of artwork. All but Desert Postcards (ironically) and Wandering Spirits are actual vintage postcards, of which I think Motel is probably the most fun…at least for me. I hope you enjoy. In addition, if you are interested in prints for any of the artwork in […]

Cactus Woman Flower & Other Art
Cactus Woman Flower, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 I dedicated some time yesterday to my collage practice. Of the three pieces I completed, Cactus Woman Flower is, by far, my favorite. The name is inspired by the Grateful Dead’s China Cat Sunflower. I often listen to the Dead while I work. The background piece (with […]

The Sweetest Thing & Other Art
The Sweetest Thing, paper collage, 2022 Here is some new artwork. I’ve got a fresh batch of vintage postcards that I’ve been working with, as well. Two of them are included here (Take Me Away and Catch). I also wanted to share some art-related updates and photographs. First, I’m very excited to say that I […]

Spacekeepers
Where We Belong, paper collage, 2022 the clouds are gearing up a hurricane or perhaps a handkerchief the light stutters, a blackjack of ladybugs cross-legged in a field, i ask myself is there a war outside this bed? i am afraid the gardens in these eyes are more existential than real and even the bones […]

Great Smoky Mountains & Other Art
Great Smoky Mountains, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 I’ve been so focused on my collage practice lately that I haven’t been writing very much. I’ve also, over the past few weeks, started a small business selling my artwork locally, which wasn’t something I’d really planned to do. It just kind of happened organically…but more about […]

Birds of Summer
American Goldfinch (female) In my last photography post, I mentioned that I have a backlog of bird photos to share. So, I’ve decided to post an assortment here. All of these photographs were taken in my backyard. I hope you enjoy them.
