Autumn stopped by my booth and we made a great connection. She did a great job posting pictures and writing up the Bountiful Davis Summerfest show. I look forward to working with her on some projects...and she bought two paintings! Thanks Autumn!

Week 4

2011-07-11T12:16:00.000-07:00

So I added a week to Park Silly Sunday Market because my cute mother-in-law wanted to see how it all worked. She's visiting from New Jersey. We had a great set-up and a warm afternoon complete with fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, but then...
The sky got dark and sprinkled a little. Then the lightning started and rained like crazy. We loaded up in the rain and still managed to save all the art! Drying out the tent today.
See you up there again on July 24th!

2011-07-04T16:38:00.000-07:00

My dates for the Park Silly Sunday Markets are 6/19, 6/26/, 7/3, 7/24, & 9/11

Park City

2011-07-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

This is week three at the Park Silly Sunday Market.

This is week one at the Market and it was cold and rainy.

This is also week three and it was perfect weather and a perfect crowd. It was a good, fun day!

House for Sale

2011-05-19T09:11:00.000-07:00

After eleven years working on and loving this house, we have decided to look for something bigger. It is a very emotional process, but the kids aren't getting any smaller...

Cards

2011-04-21T13:25:00.000-07:00

These are the original cards I make. Blank inside. Helped get me into Park Silly Sunday Market and a new gallery in Grand Haven, MI called C2C Gallery.

Two options

2011-04-12T16:40:00.001-07:00

A client needed two large paintings and here are the options. Each canvas is 48" x 60" and will hang about a foot apart. There is never any obligation when someone asks me to work in specific sizes and colors because I have two great galleries who always need new work.

"Studio Series 3"

Chicken Pot Pie

2011-03-10T08:35:00.000-08:00

I joined a food group called The Sub-Zero Heros. We make 12 meals, trade 10 and give one away to someone who needs it. I didn't realize how much joy I would get from doing this. It's also great for our family, because you get ten really great meals for our freezer, but only cook once. I'm a big fan.

UAF

2011-03-02T17:48:00.001-08:00

Sugarhouse Home

2011-01-18T12:46:00.000-08:00

After a really great summer camping, hiking in our beautiful mountains, traveling, and doing tons of fun things with the kids, I'm ready for the routine again. Two out of three start school tomorrow. I have new work at Evergreen Framing and Gallery and at District Gallery. Also, look for me at the Park Builders Home Association Parade of Homes in house #4 labor day weekend.

Why I Buy Art

2010-07-22T08:36:00.000-07:00

"Become someone who really learns something from the experience of art. Surrounding yourself with original artwork is an enriching and intimate experience that will continually provide substance to your life by adding a fulfilling aspect to your cultural experience. This aspect of collection becomes the intrinsic value of the investment."

2010-03-04T09:47:00.000-08:00

It feels like I have to spend a whole day every week just varnishing, figuring out titles, photographing, and documenting. I try to keep things organized, but I'd just rather be painting.

Ochre Trees

2009-11-06T08:25:00.000-08:00

36" x 6"

Kids got sick. Trying to carve out time to paint with sick kidos around. Had a nice time at the Annual Zion Bank Art Show last night. Great food and art.

Winter Trees

2009-10-26T11:32:00.000-07:00

This is 6" x 36". A fun shape to work with. It is getting cooler here, so it is easy to think of the winter coming. Hoping the kids don't get sick.

36" x 36"

Acrylic on Canvas

The title is a little redundant, but I am always eternally hopeful. My nature is to always be hopeful in any situation. I think it's better than the alternative. This painting just went to a new gallery for me, The District Gallery, in Park City. I had a wonderful morning with my dad visiting the gallery and out for lunch. Great rainy day for soup!

New Studio

2009-09-08T13:15:00.000-07:00

Got to hit Ikea this week and redo the studio. It has a lot of great light and everything I need at my fingertips. Now working my way through a recent shipment of canvas from Utrecht. Finished paintings get stored in a different spot, so I can stay as clutter free as an artist can.

Cabin

2009-08-23T13:14:00.001-07:00

I had a friend loan my family her cabin for a couple of days and I was able to paint six little 12" x 12" paintings out on the deck while the kids looked for critters and got nice and dirty. The mountains were beautiful and we even saw a moose.

"New Trees"

2009-08-13T12:33:00.001-07:00

I have posted this painting before, but I am excited to have it accepted into an international competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in September called artprize. Anyone can vote starting September 23 and the cash awards are crazy!!

Convergent Boundaries

2009-05-15T12:49:00.000-07:00

48" x 48" Acrylic on canvas

I wanted a title with something about the earth's layers, but a little more intersting. I had to ask my geologist husband for some ideas. I think this works for what I had in mind.
