Moondance: Celebrating Creative Women is a quarterly online magazine published by Women Artists and Writers International. This edition’s theme is Identify. The editor puts it to us this way: “Learning to sacrifice what is superficial for the essential. When we are open about our needs whether filled or unfulfilled we are able to achieve internal [...]
The website for the Eureka Springs Artists Studio Tour is up! Click on the arrow above to find information on all the participating artists, including, moi, in what will be my fabulous new studio. I’ll post more info as the event approaches, but I though a little preview was in order, as I’m now [...]
While I was the Bentonville Art Walk on Saturday, my friend who is a wonderful carpenter installed the first window in the garage. This window is over 6 feet long and allows in plenty of light. It faces the back of the property and I love looking out and seeing the trees and vines. [...]
The Bentonville Art Walk was a blast! I can’t say enough nice things about the event organizers’ artist hospitality or about the recent developments on the downtown Bentonville square. This little town is becoming very hip, it even offers free wireless internet! I met the owner of the coffee house who is now looking [...]
I will be exhibiting at the Bentonville Art Walk, Saturday, June 16th. In addition to original paintings, I will be offering my new prints and colorful square greeting cards. I hope you will come out and stop by to say hello. This year’s Art Walk on the downtown Bentonville [...]
Here’s the second set of painted faux windows done for the Oak Crest Cottages in Eureka Springs. It was like a paint by number, really, given that the client drew out just what she wanted done. Scroll way down if you want to see her diagram. Not too much artistic involvement on my part other [...]

Momma must not have been the one in the ditch or perhaps they’ve been adopted. Whatever the outcome, it is good they are not in the care of humans and are far [...]
Another wonderful reason to live in the Ozark Mountains- wildlife. Everyday I get to see pileated woodpeckers, spotted fawns, chipmunks, armadillos, and other critters just by looking out the window. I tried to get a photo of the mother deer and her tiny baby the other day, but that baby was impossible to get a [...]
Summer’s here and I am thinking a lot about how and when I can go see my family. My sister goes on a fishing trip each year and I had hoped to take my godson down to join her in the fun at sea, but it fell on the same weekend as EVERYTHING up here, [...]
Professional artists must price their work the same everywhere they sell. There is a cost of selling whether a dealer or gallery handles the sale for you, you jury into a show and pay for a 10′ x 10′ space, or you sell in an online venue. The only difference is WHO spends the time [...]
There has been some discussion among the members of the Visual Artist Street Team at Etsy regarding the decision to offer prints. I was writing the group a really long letter about my decision to offer and create my own prints when I realized that I have learned quite a few things about the [...]
