freSH laundry
in fiber, the henhouse, painting
Enough with the dirty laundry. Made of repurposed fabrics, these abstracted botanicals remind us of the first swells and sounds of spring. While the size matches a typical dish towel, these are not your momma's kitchen linens.

I didn't realize how much work you can get done on vacation. (It makes you wonder.) I spent a lot of the week on the kayak stitching while other people fished (and other rhyming activities). So relaxing.

mayo, florida
Bits of Mayo preserve what is precious and distinctly American. You can enjoy the peculiarities and the particulars.

This is Hagen's Cove in Big Bend, Florida. Trying to find it? Even the sites that talk about the cove call it the "road to nowhere."
Fodder for future works!

This work is now available on my new site. It's a free-standing piece that has been painted on PVC panel. This type of panel allows the artist to exploit the transparent and translucent qualities of water-based media. The entire box is built with the material.

little free library
Given the opportunity to marry (finally, girl!) Flannery O'Connor with more books, peacocks, an oversize mail-box, I skipped to the studio to begin transforming this little free library for the Flannery O'Connor Book Trail. The blessing and unveiling of this itty community center takes place at the Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home at 11 a.m. on February 26, 2015. See you at the ceremony. I'll be seated on the bride's side - naturally.
