Water and moons

Water on the moon! The quote below makes it almost sound like a piece of art:

The water findings came through an analysis of the slight shifts in color after the impact, showing telltale signs of water molecules that had absorbed specific wavelengths of light.

The moon is so intriguing, but humans will […]

Contemporary Women Printmakers I

I just saw a wonderful exhibit – Women’s Work: Contemporary Women Printmakers from the collection of Jordan Schnitzer and his family foundation at IDEA Space, Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The exhibit included 56 /5000 prints from the collection.

LAYERING was a common theme in many of my favorite prints in the show.

I loved […]

Hollyhocks

Hollyhocks! Such a beautiful flower.

I was at the Denver Botanic Gardens recently, shooting closeup photos of leaves and plants before fall sets in. I was photographing the hollyhocks when an elderly lady commented about them being a flower of the past. When she was young, she would put a popsicle stick […]

Doggy Down and Yoga

While doing yoga the other day, I was in the ‘doggy down’ stance. I remembered looking at my own dog that morning and observing her doing something similar. So many of those yoga poses relate to animals and nature. There are the zebra, camel, howling cat, tortoise, cow, cobra, lotus, and tree poses. Plus the […]

But what of the differing methods? The perception that scientists spend […]

Art and Tour de France

Intaglio-Type Workshop I

I just came back from a great 5 day workshop with Keith Howard where we learned many Intaglio-Type (non-toxic printmaking) methods which he has painstakingly developed over the years. The intense workshop took place at Don Messec’s studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Don practices non-toxic printmaking to the T! Making art safely is […]

Something Old, Earth Day!

Earth Day was celebrated recently! I was in the process of creating my new website at the time and as it unfolded, I’ve decided my image content should not only be my newest artwork, but I should include some old series as well. Old themes seem to resurface and the current dialogue today is “green”!

Arbor Day, Arborglyphs…

Arbor Day was celebrated recently and it makes me think of my father! He was always planting trees and bushes, and I remember neighbors saying that if he planted a broom, it would also grow. Arbor Day, which is usually celebrated on the last Friday in April, encourages the planting of trees.

I too have […]
