I'm thrilled to have been interviewed for the Not Old - Better Show podcast (part of the Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series) on the topic of Art and the Aging Brain.
Listen in on my discussion with host Paul Vogelzang as we chat on a range of topics relating to creativity including creating and learning about art, my personal artistic journey, and the benefits that come from being an artist and / or as someone appreciative of art and the joy that it offers. |

I was thrilled to participate as a panelist for a Zoom webinar hosted by Nathalie Kalbach where we discussed, "What's the Point?"
Why are we making art? Do you create for a specific purpose or do you focus more on the journey? Are you somewhere in between? We explored the why and then also the aftermath - what do you do with it all afterwards? Selling, personal collections, gifts, the closet, and the trash will all be on the table. The webinar is now available to watch on-demand, so you can still catch up on the conversation! |

In this issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, (which is unfortunately the last for this publication,) I'm excited to have a feature article sharing my faux resin paper technique. I share my tips and recipe for creating your own papers, as well as a tutorial on making an accordion style art journal and adding in your faux resin papers as window pages.

I was incredibly fortunate to partner with Lynne Perrella, a mixed media icon in her own right, for an article celebrating and taking inspiration from ancient icons. Each of us contributed three pieces of artwork and shared our thoughts for an article compiled and then written by Lynne that discusses the art, as well as a bit about the collaboration, the materials we used, our inspirations, and even some synchronicity as a part of the process.

My mixed media artwork "Fading Beauty" appeared in the "MUST list" column featuring the Baked Texture embossing powders from Emerald Creek. I also included a short write-up about the amazing textures and effects that can be achieved using these powders in your artwork and craft projects.

In this issue, I was featured in the "Road Test" column using the new pastel sets by Jane Davenport for American Crafts. I put them through their paces, trying both types of pastels (Chalk Pastels and Cream Pastels) in a variety of applications and using several different substrates. I shared the results of those experiments, then used my samples to create a Spring-themed art journal spread.
