I picked up a copy of the 2009 Arkansas Tour Guide at Petit Jean State Park last week and had a good surprise.
On the page about Eureka Springs, the photo is of the Artery’s original installation and those huge kiwis are my painting. My godson and I were tickled by that and I mentioned it [...]
It was a lot of fun to sign calendars at the Crystal bridges Museum of American Art last Thursday. Lots of people came out for the event and sure enough, many bought calendars as gifts. First Lady of Arkansas, Mrs. Beebe personalized everyone’s calendars before they walked them around to each of the artists [...]
From 1-3pm today, I will join First Lady of Arkansas, Ginger Beebe, and a bunch of other artists at the Crystal Bridges at the Massey in Bentonville, Arkansas to sign copies of the 2009 Arkansas Artists Engagement Calendar. It should be a lot of fun to see the other artists and Mrs. Beebe again [...]
The Arkansas Artists Engagement Calendar has been released and it is beautiful! I had the privilege of attending a reception at the Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock Wednesday night which was hosted by Governor and First Lady Beebe and the Governor’s Mansion Association. I loved taking the time to travel through our lush, beautiful state. [...]
Yep, that’s my painting on the cover of What’s Up, the weekend magazine inset in last Friday’s Arkansas Democrat Gazette. That image was taken from my painting titled A Heady Bouf, which will be sold at the Fayetteville Arts Festival this weekend. If you are one of those collecting prints of my big eyed [...]
The June 12, 2008 edition of the Lovely County Citizen included an announcement of the exciting news that my artwork was selected to be a part of the 2009 Arkansas Artists Engagement Calendar. The calendar is published by the Governor’s Mansion Association and I am looking forward both to seeing the calendar in print and [...]
I have mentioned before how nice Jean Merritt, the Patriots’ Herald reporter, is and now we have proof. I ran into her at a parade mid-October and thanked her for printing the photo she took of me with my painting at the Artists Studio Tour Opening Night Reception. I also mentioned that I had missed [...]
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 [...]
I’m back! Since stepping in a hole and wrecking my ankle, I have been confined to odd positions and unable to paint or do much of anything where my leg hangs down. I took it pretty well at first, but I must confess that after the worst of the pain subsided, I began to feel [...]

This title cracks me up, but it honestly is all we discussed during this interview. I find the whole thing rather embarrasing and I’m not sure why since I am always fine showing my paintings to anyone and talking about why I paint and how I paint. The article tells how I’ve never had any [...]
