When I am not writing, I am still fortifying my writer brain with other creative time. Sometimes that means making a collage or taking out my watercolor and gouache paints. Or it could mean digging in my garden. Or wandering through the city. We are all artists.

A selection of work: sundry collages, watercolors, doodles, bits, bobs, odds, and ends.

My very first art show experience (the snowy cabin painting over my left shoulder). My watercolor teacher Hope convinced me to be brave enough to share my art. We all need teachers and mentors.
