Where did 2019 go...

As you can see the blog in 2019 seemed to drop off the edge of the planet...

This amazing collaborator and friend
 Beverly Soasey 

died unexpectedly on September 16, 2018, 

due to a rare, aggressive form of cancer.

She loved to travel and was away on an
artist residence in France when she got the news.

 She has been a huge loss to her family and the community. 

I miss her smile, laugh, grace and abundant creativity.

This is a great video if you want to hang out with her for a moment.


After her loss, I felt I needed to cancel the shows and 

plans we had made for the coming year.
But the studio was not quiet.

It seemed I could hear her pushing me to not be idle... 

Art Studio Sale!

Lots of surprises and fun!

Hope to see you!
