Starting with the corners
Slowly but surely, this place is beginning to look like home. Good thing, because the days are absolutely flying by, the weeks passing me in a blur of time. Neither the Tailor nor I could really take any time off from work for our move, so we can only settle in a little at a…

The hardest hue to hold
We’re all moved into our new house, and fully in the thick of unpacking and setting up our lives again. But despite a pile of work to do that stretches from here to next year, I didn’t want to miss my favorite season. So every chance I get, I’ve been sneaking out to take walks…

Home sweet home
In a season full of big events, tomorrow is the biggest day of all, because that’s when the Tailor and I move into our new home. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this—we’ve been saving for years and looking for months, and we finally found the house (and studio!) that is absolutely…

Two shows, one night
Both Jessica and I have solo shows on display right now, and while they deal with different topics, our similar personalities and interests made for a surprising number of overlaps. While we were marveling at how much our shows had in common with each other (which was especially funny, considering that neither of us saw…

Full house
This weekend was the biggest and best Studio Tour yet—and I even remembered to take pictures! Well, sort of, anyway. I managed to document my space for the last time, but then chaos took over. It’s a good thing I bought just about every last organic jellybean in the city of Tacoma, because we needed…

Last hurrah
I know I’ve been a little quiet online lately, but it’s certainly not quiet around my house. This is the state of things right now—at least in the back half of the house. The Tailor and I are moving to a new house/studio in just over a week (still in Tacoma! Just a couple of…

Art is in the air
Tonight was the kick-off party for the annual Tacoma Arts Month (formerly known as Art at Work Month). Everything is a little different this year. For one thing, Arts Month is now a month earlier. (The folks in charge figured that October would be better than November, since there aren’t any major travel holidays, and…

Fiberglass and frames
‘Scuse the bad photos—all I had on me was a mobile phone and a shaky hand. But that’s okay, because if you’re local, you can see the real thing. I just finished installing my newest solo show, featuring sketchbook drawings of roadside attractions! I went for a wide variety of favorite fiberglass and concrete monuments—not…

A list
Life around here is pretty frantic this week, while I finish up a bunch of projects and get ready for new ones appearing over the horizon. Since the thought of telling you about them in coherent paragraph format gives me hives (as I can’t even wrap my own brain around them all yet!), here’s what’s…

To my village
I’m a little late to the party, because I was out of town when the “Best of Tacoma” issue of the Weekly Volcano came out. I finally managed to pick one up, and was shocked to find my name inside! So I whipped up this little village illustration in tribute to my village—and the people…
