Visit Thanksgiving Weekend for Open Studio Sale

Hard at work preparing for this years open studio held 3 days after Thanksgiving.  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 11 to 5 P.M. November 27, 28, 29. Beautiful mythic and sacred art  await your arrival.  If it has been awhile since you visited my studio in beautiful Pt Reyes Station, please take this opportunity to do so.  Refreshments will be served.  Hope to see you.  Best to you all.

On July 11th I hosted an unveiling of my newest commissioned altar created for the garden of the Academy of Intuitive Medicine in Sausalito, CA.  The altar stands over4 feet tall and incorporates stained glass and mirrors in its design.

The opening of the ceremony was “Amazing Grace,” sung by 15 year old Zoe Moss.

I then spoke about the creation of the altar, my intentions in making it and, now, releasing it to go to its new home.

Noted harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton played a classical piece on her beautiful harp and   Marisa Power recited a poem.  Accompanied by the harp, I closed with a mask dance and unveiled the piece.

Three young “angels” then came in procession, bringing candles to illuminate the altar for the first time.

An enchanted time was had by all!

Early June.  After rafting on the Rogue River for a week  am back at the studio looking at the garden’s growth.  Why do artists get a reputation for being lazy?  It is a true illusion.  Artists enjoy beauty, and falling into the beauty of colors and fresh growth in the garden is a great pastime.  The mind drifts as the breeze stirs leaves and flower petals.  Sounds of people enjoying lunch in the next door restaurant, sounds of water flowing in the fountain, mix with the peaceful moments.  After days of fog in Pt Reyes the sun now is bright.  I know there is a lot of work to do.  I must work on my web site, must finalize the drawings for the new commissioned altar, cast some hearts, paint some moons, update my email list from the recent open studios yes, there is a lot to do.  But now, right now, being in the sunshine nourishes my being, feeds my soul, and just gives me a contented breath of life.  I will get to all the things needing to be done.  There is no fear of not being able to accomplish what needs doing.  It is just that I am transmuting these moments into a time of quiet reflection and if you were to drop in right now we could have the most stimulating visit.
