PALE GOLD ENCHANTMENT

"It was one of those velvety summer evenings - brimming with the hallmarks of a fairy tale: crickets rosining their bows, moon flowers tuning their trumpets, and fireflies preparing to gild twilight in pale gold enchantment."

THE BACK OF BUS 3

"... so there I sat riding - at the back of BUS 3 - with my head full of questions and my boots full of pee."

FLATTENING PENNIES

Here's an illustration for a calendar that I'm working on - images from childhood.

FALL LEAVES AND TRILLIUM

The following is a 12"x 72" sculpture I made entitled "Fall Leaves and Trillium." The leaves and trillium flowers were hand cut and sculpted from paper, then painted - the rocks were sculpted from a mixture of plaster and papier mache.

Those fall leaves are certainly falling! It was a perfect Halloween last night: 60 degrees, a big bright moon, and a spooky wind - swirling leaves, costumes and imaginations.
