The weather for the past three days has been glorious, fast-forwarded to spring, and then on to summer: sunny and hot, under clear, limpid skies. All the trees are ecstaticly flowering, and people have emerged onto their front porches, walking their dogs and babies, exposing white shins and elbows, everyone giddy with the sudden, almost [...]

I’ve been a bad blogger lately; I’ve really fallen behind on the two posts-a-week goal I set myself when I started out. Can we chalk it up to general February malaise? I’ve been working away in the studio, but usually when I get home I succumb to the allure of the cocktail (and being such [...]

Okay, so I may be slightly deranged about my privacy. And you may find this hard to believe, coming from someone posting pictures of her work-in-progress on the interwebs. But it’s true: my privacy in the studio is really, really important to me. Not only do I keep many valuable possessions in that room (hundreds [...]
