We have been collaborating artists our entire married lives. Our work is always evolving. The experiences we share, or individually participate in, become a part of what we create. Bruce photographs and throws pots and I paint and create jewelry and other objects from precious metals. Bruce's photos are sometimes the inspiration or reference for my paintings and often times I sculpt and carve into his pottery. The results from our combined knowledge and skills becomes something beautiful that we enjoy sharing. Enjoy.

Preliminary for "Snowshoe on quilts" painting

Right now I'm contemplating using this pile of quilts to rest Mr. Hare on! Not sure if it will be outside, maybe with a clothesline in the background. That might be more contrived than I want. I think I'll listen to my brush once I'm on the canvas.
working from my sketches and decided to use the snowshoe looking directly at the viewer.

february 8 and too tired to sleep

  OK, so it's all about the show in November. Animals, whimsy and me. It's difficult being away from my
own working space and I'm once again forcing myself outside my comfort zone with size and subjects.
Working from Bruce's photos is always a thrill for me. Tomorrow we will review his memory cards and figure out how to get them up on the laptop so I can begin.
