Retired. Hope to see more of you.

There really are two lives we live. The first life and then the second life when we realize we only have one life.

Drawing again—The Watchful Eye

So far so good

Officially I am fully retired on August 18, 2020, but my last day of classes were on May 14th. All grades are recorded and I finish with my score on RMP )Rate My Professor) a 4.17/5 or in the upper 20 percent of my other professors scored on RMP. I will take that. That is where I finished in my class at St. Paul, Johnson Senior High. 

Currently, I am using graphite, Prisma Color Pencils, Prisma Col-Erase, and found paper. Most of my work is no larger than 5″x 5″. The size was inspired by Sadelle Wiltshire and the color pencils exploration inspired by Joe Sinness
Still focused on photography, and other digital work. I am working to learn Blender, a 3D modeling software.

Hopefully will be uploading and posting more frequently.

I’m a Minneapolis-based artist working in watercolor, gouache, oil, drawing, and mixed media. After teaching art and design for many years, I returned to making art fully. These days, I spend my time drawing, painting, experimenting, and paying attention to what shows up. I often work small. My work moves between observation, memory, and imagination. Some pieces lean surreal. Some stay close to what is seen. What interests me is what begins to emerge when I stay with the work long enough. On my blog, you’ll find both my artwork and my reflections. I’ve come to see they are connected. What I learn in the studio often changes how I see my life, my relationships, and my community. In that way, art has become more than making objects — it has become a way of understanding and being in the world.

Hope you leave your thoughts.
