May 23, STILL cold and raining. 5 days now. I have been working, reworking some of my early abstractions from last year. They have gotten so much better... Kind of surprising how much one can keep learning even when one gets older. I am working from my heart, and it's easier now, more direct, than when I had a lot of ideas and worries about it all!!
My studio is in an old elementary school, 801 North Lincoln Drive in Hancock. I love visitors! I am usually there but please call first: 906-370-3183. My hours are erratic.
Locally my work is at the Ziyad Gallery, the Art Center, and in my studio for viewing. In Madison I am still at the Grace Chosy Gallery, and in Petoskey at the Crooked Tree, and now in Ironwood at the Z Place.

When I moved back to the Upper Peninsula I responded to the beautiful trees everywhere in the forests, now grown back after being logged in the early 1900's. Birch trees especially became a symbol for nature's ability to survive; the spaces between them as important as the trees.
