Goodness, I’m overdue for a blog post. What on earth have I been doing? Well…lots…and, suddenly, it’s fall! Amazing how that happens.<\/p>\n

It’s been a packed summer of whatever outdoor activities I could cram in, assorted personal commitments, and every possible moment of studio time. From tiles to tableware to large sculptural forms – I’ve been working on it all! The studio, quite frankly, is a shambles. Much of the work, however, has been quite satisfying and, as is typical for me, reflects the nature I’ve been able to immerse myself in this season (spoiler alert: birds!).<\/p>\n

The hummingbird family came back to nest with us…<\/p>\n
