COMPUTER ISSUES!

Umm. So yesterday my computer decided to basically have a catastrophic crash and I’m currently unable to access any of my files.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH OUTSTANDING PRINT ORDERS - please check your email. &If I haven’t already gotten in touch with you I will be shortly.

The husband-creature is working hard to recover the data.


Artist Statements

Always a torturous but satisfying writing affair.  The nice thing about them is that during the process of examining my work for the purpose of writing a statement, my focus is re-sharpened and my creativity stoked.   I gain new perspectives but also remember the ones that were getting a bit lost or diluted.

 ”Writing is easy. All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead.”
- Gene Fowler

In other news, the husband-creature is currently installing french doors in the new studio area.  It’s a better space than the old studio, but the lack of doors is frustrating.  He promises the cats will no longer be breaking things by the end of today.
