My most recent travels took me to the mountains in northern New Mexico. I was able to hike during peak color which was a HUGE treat.  I will be posting some of my daily studies as I am working on a new series about memory and place.

Breathe Deep oil on canvas 30" x 40" I was thinking of New England this holiday weekend and how the promise of a blizzard, especially when there was no school, was the best thing we could hope for. The bramble amidst the trees was easy to see against a backdrop of white and we tromped through it all in search of the adventures that awaited us in the distant, unknown land

I recently loaned my camera to a 12 year old friend and budding artist. Her shot of tree tops instantly takes me back to the days of creative daydreaming - of those summer days of when I, accompanied by a possy of wild explorers, created a universe in the woods where the giant hemlock was my palace and the third branch from the bottom was my private room with a view.

The terrains of our childhood never leave us. In fact, they provide us with secret places, compelling places where playful imaginations can run wild, where discovery can take place and where dreams form. Beneath the cloak of youthful creativit, childhood places assumed a magic that we carry into adulthood. The paintings in my new series, "Finding My Place," are gardens of the

As I'm sitting here reading and journaling -- revisiting cubism for a project I'm working on -- I am reminded of the influence of science and particularly of the mathematical sciences on art. In Arthur Millers recent book he remarks that "Mathematicians, philosophers and physicists at the beginning of the 20th century were recognising that many absolute truths were convenient caricatures of a
