The blog posts here on the Little House website may have seemed a bit scarce lately, but behind the scenes it’s a totally different story! Here is a project that has been in the works for over two years. This piece, made up of 16 canvases, contains collaged monoprints that I’ve been creating between…

There’s something so satisfying about taking a bunch of broken dishes and making something new with them. And since spring isn’t too far off, it made sense to create something with that in mind. I’m loving this guy, and I think he’ll be part of a series. We’ll see!

Over the holidays, I repainted a small wooden toy chest that belonged to one of my girls many years ago. Now her son will enjoy a “Wind in the Willows” themed toy chest that his Grammy painted just for him.

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!   https://cclowell.com/

*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…

The entire Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project collection was being transported to a new location in Florida, but along the way the truck caught fire. 30% of the sketchbooks were destroyed, including mine.…

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…

We had some special friends visiting the studio on this chilly spring day, and they had lots of fun creating stepping stones for their Mom’s garden! Using bits of glass, rocks, buttons, plastic critters and letter stamps, these creations are true works of art! Nice job B. and R.!

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…
