New Work

It is harder than I want it to be to carve out the cracks of time I need to be in my studio.

The last couple of months, gave me some of those cherished moments and here are some of the pieces that came from it.  These are commissioned or have been taken to the Grapevine Gallery in Oregon City.

Star for Elizabeth

Summer in Manzanita

Walking the Rim of the Oregon Plateau

Bohemian Summer Series

Tula's Shield

Creekbed Talisman

Loving ODonahue

Breathing

Occasionally I disappear, unplug, go under in order to rebalance my unrealistically ambitious "To Do" list with a renewal of assessing what is most important.  It is so easy to be seduced by our culture out of spending precious time on the things I most value.  This summer I didn't get to all of the things I wanted to, but I did spend time on the things I most value; art, relationships, my sanctuary.

The garden is slowly evolving into a place for wildlife and soul life.

I've given myself a small space of immersion time in the studio.  Some pieces that have emerged as I continue to learn and develop skills to express my response to this amazing gift of life.  Eventually I'll get to adding more jewelry pics on my Flicker and Pinterest sites.
