Repurposed October 21, 2014
A life before now
Repurposed, a new pattern
Life, double helix.
Art Prescription: Many objects and patterns have multiple lives. A farmer’s tool cart becomes a magazine rack. An old bed becomes a porch swing. Old patterns cycle round…here is a watercolor take on IKAT.

Awareness October 11, 2014
Quiet on the farm
Horses graze, content, focus
Ears perks, my presence.
Art Prescription: I love walking out into a herd of horses. I watch them notice me with curiosity. Their ears perk as their awareness shifts. Herd behavior has deep roots for these prey animals. To have them accept me and allow me to enter their space is an honor.
