We are so grateful to all the firefighters and countless other state and federal agency folks who have worked tirelessly to bring the Fourmile Fire to 87% containment (as of today) and protect the hundreds of homes that were in harms way. While over 6,000 acres were burned and 166 homes were taken by … Continue Reading
This gave me such a wide, wide smile this morning. From the wonderful NPR Blog, The Picture Show, a dream in chalk and perspective and fantasy. How'd they do that? Click here to read an interview of how a talented group of artists turned Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin into this somnambulent superhero.
I've been busy here in the studio getting ready for this year's Longmont Studio Tour, which will be September 25th and 26th. Laying out some ideas for some new collage canvases… …which have been coming together nicely… …and sewing up some journal covers… …all the while watching the summer drift by. I … Continue Reading

Overheard at breakfast this morning, two twentyish girls talking: "Ya Ed's coming over to use my … Continue Reading
Last week I was going through some journal stuff and came across some journal pages I'd forgotten about from last summer. I incorporated them into my big journal and all the while I was transported back to Taos with my artist/sister/friends. You know who you are…I'm craving one of the Taos Inn's margs after a … Continue Reading
The designers at my local Anthropologie have put their mad skills to work again. I often wander in just to peruse the store fixtures and finds and to see what amazing sculpture/art/decor/installations they have come up with. While I love the clothes, and they look fabulous on my lithe 17 year old, I mostly love the … Continue Reading
I am happy to update everyone on Rebecca's Shrine Auction that is previewing this week on her blog. From her website she describes the auction eloquently: "This site was created to host an annual art auction benefiting Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots, a project endeavoring to support the needs of a predominately indigenous population. These children are the ones diligently selling small handmade … Continue Reading
Yesterday was a tough day. Attending to a difficult and challenging family situation in the morning and a funeral for my brother-in-law's father in the afternoon. Just so very happy and grateful and humble to simply crawl into bed at the end of the day with my husband and hold and kiss my children. … Continue Reading
