A few weeks ago I posted on Facebook “Everything is changing.” I had no idea! This poor website has been through 3 or 4 major changes in 2011 and here we go again. The artwork has not changed much in the past year, but my intentions and desires have. Now change is happening I could not have prepared for.
Metastatic Breast Cancer. Right there under the X.
So, once again the work intention changes, and the nature of the work as well. Be prepared for boobs 
Seriously. I plan to document this trip in detail. I even started a new blog just to tell the story. I see this as a challenge, and have discovered I can make some beautiful images of these floppy old skin bags, and the not so pleasant details of hospital business
I don’t know exactly where this blog will go, but it will be more about art and less about me. There will also be another makeover of this site as I transition into Art4Healing. Whatever happens this will be interesting. Those of you that have followed me here so far please stick with me. I invite you to follow the new blog as well as I will surely be posting there more at least for the immediate future.
If this is your first time hearing my news the back story is here, and here, and continuing on the new blog.

now I know that knowing sometimes sucks. I haven’t written here since the end of November! Not because I have nothing to say, or did not want to. Just too much else. To get back into it I am participating in “The Week of Looking Inward” hosted by Patti Digh and Susan Piver. Since everything…

Perhaps I should have asked how many things are wrong with this picture? I could begin my rant right now, but allow me to back track a wee bit. I have been scrambling this month with year end to dos and struggling not to berate myself for all I am not getting done. Last week…

11-11-11 started like any other day for me and I had no expectations it would be different. The notion that a date created by humans could have some kind of mystical significance is a bit far fetched for me. Still I considered giving the notion a nod as I found myself once again disgruntled this…

I’ve been thinking a lot about change these days. The afternoon light has faded and it is dark by 6 pm. I don’t like that, and so it is. The leaves are brilliant shades of red, yellow, orange and burnt shades of all the same. Green still lingers here and there but soon it will…

Climate change is strange. This past weekend we had snow and it was beautiful to see all that white against the fall leaves. It also caused an awful amount of damage. Many are still without electricity and the tree damage is significant all over. All that and we only got a few inches. I haven’t…

Not quite two weeks ago Laura Simms wrote a post titled “Would You Hire You?”. I knew right away I would do a follow up post, because it woke me up, again, to some problems I face being the boss of me. The gist of the article is how good are you at taking direction…

Do you remember the commercial my title mimics? You have to be pretty old It is one of those that sticks in your head like it or not. That’s advertising, and that is not what I am here to talk about, at least not in the mass marketing big corporation sense. I am here to…

One of the ways I keep my creative my muse alive is by looking at a lot of art work, by all different kinds of artist’s. My favorite way to do that is by subscribing to Artist a Day. The art is good quality, very eclectic, and there is a gallery option to save favorites…
