Needle Felted Fox Class.




Last month I taught a friendly group of first time felters to make these little fox.
It is always such magic to see the transformation from balls of raw roving
to little creatures who all but come to life.

My next felting class will be Wednesday August 20th from 5-7:30 at Collage.
We will be creating happy little hens. Call the gals at Collage to register, 503.249.2190.

Printmaking with Kids.











Last month I taught a kid's printmaking workshop at OCAC.
What fun we had that day working with relief and mono-printmaking techniques.
The kids loved brayering out ink, creating unique designs, layering colors
and generally getting messy. I will be teaching a series of kid's summer classes
with OCAC this summer. Stay tuned for mixed media, bookmaking, and of course 
more printmaking classes. And a great round of applause to my young Artists.

Hawaii.



















What a lush land of tropical delights. A week was spent soaking in the most missed
sunshine, eating copious amounts of fresh fruit and fish, body surfing until our knees
and chests were raw, traveling the long and winding road to rural Hana, swimming in 
waterfalls, befriending colorful feathered friends, convincing horses that their pasture
had the best view on the island, being mesmerized by the shapes and colors of the 
flora and fauna, walking through a beautifully breezy bamboo forest, and watching
sunset after sunset after sunset. I am incredibly fortunate to have spent a week in 
paradise with the people I love most on the planet. Mahalo, Hawaii, until next time...

Organic Offerings.


These are two of my favorite humans with little hand alters I built.
There is so much to be in awe of and delight in the wonder of on these spring days.
Yes Please to Spring!
