Having my work for sale in America’s oldest art supply store (since 1852!) is a thrill beyond words! C.C. Lowell in Worcester, Massachusetts has expanded their inventory in recent years to include items created by local artists, my stuff included! Check it out!
…aaaand, we’re back!
*sigh*
I fantasized about endless, rambling studio hours when the weather was warming up this past spring, but life got in the way. “Clumps” of creative time were all I could muster, but not nearly enough to fill me up. And alas, here we are, holidays fast approaching and 2022 is winding to a close.
But, some fun new crafty things did happen! Here are a few of examples of items that are heading over to Dandelions gift shop in Barre, and they may end up at holiday fairs near you! Keep your eyes open!
The silver lining
Summer break
I’m taking a short break from indoor art projects, but wanted to post a snapshot of the beauty all around the studio, including the oh-so-inviting front porch! Ideas are percolating, but for now, I’m enjoying this relaxed summer pace. I’d also like to point out the finished chicken mosaic in its summer location. It was a fun project and I’m pretty happy with the finished result.
Getting ready to celebrate MOM!
Chicken mosaic
There are multiple projects in various stages of completion in the studio, the biggest of which is a mosaic that will hang on the wall of the front porch as soon as it’s finished. That will open the workspace for fun projects I have planned with some of my young artist friends. Spring is HERE! Windows are OPEN!
Love is in the air…
Work on display
I love walking into a local gift shop and seeing my work on display! Dandelions in Barre has weathered the Covid-19 storm by boosting their online presence and by practicing strict safety protocols for in-person shopping. And they can’t be beat for customer service! https://dandelionsonline.com
Edible artwork!
Global community art
Studio art projects took a vacation during the last few weeks as I recovered from foot surgery. But before I took time off, I completed my submission to the Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project.
My book, along with hundreds of others, will be cataloged, digitized, and packed up for a “road show” of sorts, traveling all over the world for all (interested) eyes to see! The goal of this project is to encourage creative storytelling within a global community.

To view my piece, watch for a link to be posted in an upcoming blog entry, sometime during the month of September.
