We live in environments that allow for so much incoming

While shopping at the market I hear music that reaches into my subconscious, popping up a picture into my consciousness from the last time Id heard it. Layer upon layer, like a collage of sound sight and smell, feelings tastes, all merge within the artist to evoke an expression. something bubbles up, percolates in our souls until we have to bring it out.
My new students have remarked in ...

ENERGY IS NOT INVISIBLE

In general, most artists are sensitive people. We sense things, use hunches, read signs, listen to inner promptings, and we are intuitve.

March has come in with a whole new kind of fast moving energy. I find myself looking at the world whirl by while I take 5 and settle into a more peaceful countenance for the process of studio time.

Creativity is a delicate matter. We can’t crank it out like cupcakes. It needs to come from ...

You are an Artist… if you need to make art!

We stand on the hill tops, overlooking the masses, observing and dreaming on canvas and walls.

We sit with the workers and sketch their authentic faces in fields and factories.

Photographers are waiting for the moment when light stands in awesome contrast.

Art may begin with a stick in the sand at the beach. And age does not hold any claim on ...

It is especially important for an illustrator to get to know the author… so this blog is for book authors and writers.

Instead of thinking your writing will provide all the information an artist could need to illustrate your book, consider offering something personal about you.

Your writing, of course, is the core of the project. However a very important second is the illustrator’s understanding of your intention. It can be ...

From the visionaries perspective we can return to 2012 and revel at the enormous changes, the positivity, and the invention. It’s a renaissance revisited!

Let us begin the new year with a solid view of authenticity, creative adventure, and inspiration from new heights.

Write to me and share your creative process… artist, writers, dancers, and singers. We will be seen in a new light this year. Encouragers, expressers, you speak the heart’s desire. This is the year to bring it ...

The First Friday (Art Walk), is a popular monthly event for tourists, locals, as well as artists, musicians, and wine connoisseurs. Newberg is a gentle old fashioned setting for up and coming cultural interests. Located in Yamhill County, it is becoming legendary for its ...

Make everything you do ART,

Imagine… I  stand on a stage before you, the huge curtains behind me are luminous. I  present the latest in virtual carousel rides:  My New Portfolio Preview Page, a dazzling changing frame of a wide variety of  my art work. The curtains of light seem to pool as a flat screen, and there before you, the delightful shifting of image after image, turning and unfolded into the next.

I am thrilled to ...

The artists retreat: A place created first in the mind, for it to be activated in any space, even in the most ideal creative spaces. It suggests an honesty with self, an agreement to withdraw from expectations in order to discover something new creatively. A retreat can mean putting value on quietly listening, becoming aware of what surfaces.

I am interested in working with individuals who, whether local or visiting the area, may be ...

May I invite you to visit My Illustrations Overview page  for clients and authors. It’s a formula for begining an illustration project, and it’s filled with extensive information about how I translate your words into artwork.

For the new author, who has always wished to have a bit of art to enhance their poetry or short story, I have provided a full description of the language used in art and the way your story can be translated into illustrations!

For the experienced author ...
