Being part of the Ravenswood ArtWalk is always fun. This year Architectural Artifacts offered their Artifacts Events space to Ravenswood ArtWalk artists, and we were so fortunate to get to be in this spot. I had never visited the store, but am planning to go back to look at all the things. How amazing are […]

This coming week a special book is shipping all over the country. Incite 4: Relax, Restore, Renew: The Best of Mixed Media, edited by Tonia Jenny has one of my pendants between its covers.

I have been intrigued by her Now That’ a Pliers! since she introduced them, but wanted to take them for a spin before committing to another tool investment. She showed me her fabulous studio space that has various sections to run […]

One of my pieces, Infinity, was accepted into the show. I’ll be among familiar FUSEDChicago artists, including Carol Hamilton, Rebecca Stahr, Carol L. Meyers, […]
