  • Six Word Stories (23)

    It’s the little things that decide weakness or strength. It’s the unguarded places that erosion starts. Mountains are raised by pressure and flattened with quakes, while water and ice brake walls. Humans crack under pressure, our pieces scattered. I am learning not to fear the brake so much.

  • December Night, Art Highlight

    I am excited to introduce you to my second new design of the year. “December Night” was painted in early 2020. The poem was written in December of the same year. I felt the two belonged together, though I didn’t plan for it when the small original was painted. I chose the first two stanzas…

    When Creativity Holds Darkness

    Anyone in the habit of communicating their creativity has had moments where their work is tinged with shadow. Some artist thrive in that dark place. Are you one of them? I walk the line on how dark the words I write are, and don’t believe in denying the sad, angry, or even ugly emotions and…
