Welcome to my News, Updates, & Notes from the Studio Page.
I use this page as a part blog, part sounding board about things going on in my life that inform my creative work. It is intended to offer a window in to the many avenues that fuel my creative life and the process of making artwork. I invite you to click on the entries below to learn more about me and what I do. I hope you enjoy.
