Emerging from a Black Hole

It feels like I am emerging from something like a black hole. For the past month, I have been bogged down with several things that have interfered with my creative artistic endeavors...I can't wait to get back to creating artwork in my studio, which (with any luck) is just about to happen.

Redesigning My Art Site for WordPress 3.01

I have just finished yet another redesign of my art website! The new design is a slight refinement of the previous visual design (with which I've been pretty happy for awhile), but more importantly, it represents a major underlying structural change. I have upgraded my site structural and design files to WordPress 3.01 to take advantage of the new structure and features built into the latest version of WordPress. See full post »

Compliments on my work
Your painting reminds me of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings. Although your painting reminds me of her work, it does bring about a different kind of experience. Her flowers to me are beautiful. But they also seem reserved, formal, almost abstract, not romantic in anyway, not even alive but more like something plucked and then frozen in time. Your work has some of the same shapes, and yet the relationship of the shapes to each other is different and not at all formal like O'Keeffe's. There is more movement in your painting, more energy, more aliveness. (I'm not taking your title into consideration.) To me, I'm looking deep into the heart of a living flower.
