Weekend, Collage, Adobe

Other than ending up at the dentist, the past 3 days have been relaxing. We wanted to go to the fireworks in the city on Independence Day, but it rained. That was disappointing. But we have spent a ton of time together as a family. Tomorrow my husband is taking us on a surprise site … Continue reading Weekend, Collage, Adobe

How to Be a Writer, an Artist, a Composer, a Dancer etc

Some of what I see in the writer sphere online and the art sphere too is really weird to me. There are articles and books that are titled "I wrote every day for a year. Here's what I learned."

One is that every popular collage artist I come across or collage artists on lists of accomplished artists has in common is doing paper collage. I am the only one I know doing digital … Continue reading Collage Art in Color

2024 Goals

1. Decorate my home in a more eclectic style. I want to be true to my own vision - like when I ordered a handmade, rainbow collection of jellyfish for my window. 2. Publish a book. I have an art book and a poetry book in the works. I am obsessed with collage, and I … Continue reading 2024 Goals
