As I mentioned, my afternoon in Boston was a layover to Kim Bernard’s Maine Coast Encaustic Workshop Retreat. My respite on the Downeaster Amtrak train from Boston to Wells, Maine was lovely. The train is equipped with power outlets, and I listened to the clickerty-clack of other passengers typing on their laptops. Being prone to motion sickness […]

Chicago Artists Month kicks off with the Bridgeport block party: three locations in […]
It’s been a month of milestones. Last year I met a new Meetup Group at the Ravenshood ArtWalk, which has proven to be such a lovely community. This year we didn’t coordinate a group outing, but I enjoyed revisiting the ArtWalk on my own. The Ravenswood ArtWalk kicks off Chicago Artists Month, and showcases fine […]
Fresh on the heels of exploring a fun art show, I am pleased to announce my upcoming exhibits. From September 20 through October 25, Migrant Danaus will be at Dick Blick Evanston’s 12×12 Fall Show. Last year’s show prompted me to enter exhibits, so it is nice to mark the anniversary of that milestone with […]

On-site I watched ladies make boutonnieres and was intrigued by the layering. You basically get 6 stamps in one! She is very generous and […]
As I mentioned, a few pieces are going back up on Etsy, and so is Red Hot Love.  I made this prior to the Arts of Life Square Foot Show in Glenview. Speaking of the Arts of Life, the BUGS!!! Exhibit has another open house with live music on Friday, September 7 from 6 to 10 […]
I just received my new CD of Tom van Eynde’s art photography. There are a few calls for art I’m submitting to, and professional photos are key. So now I can show you what I’ve been working on the past few months. I wish the dimension came out more in these photos, but the thing […]
I’m back in the studio working on some things for upcoming show deadlines. The stunning colors of the Malachite Butterfly had me playing with its photos and the energy of the stone it is named after.
