The unbridled terror, persecution, hate, mutilation/bludgeoning/torture of individuals, creatures, the land-sea-water weighs heavy on my heart and soul these last couple of years. How can acts so unimaginable, unconscionable escalate ??? But they are.

An image has been activating me, wanting to come forward. I have been slowly giving form to what wants to come. This is a photo of a part of the piece… the 3rd stage of I don’t know how many stages to come.

I work slowly, more slowly now… that is just the way it is. Other ideas are germinating and coming to fruition until i return to this piece. That’s how I work, in a circular way. I have been social media quiet, not posting my work because I am following an inward path right now. It is an inward time of year, to dive deep.

I am grateful to be here still, feeling, creating, loving, living. Grateful for all of my teachers in so many different forms.

May all beings know Peace, Love, Joy

Yes, the optimist I am has hope that we may all live in peace, harmony and love.

May it be so!

Well that’s a wrap! A wondrous meeting of many beautiful people! Thank you all who visited and shared in our joy of creation and took treasures home.

Thank you to Beth for helping me wrangle the studio, Bronwyn the garden, Brenda and Bob for helping with set up and Jan for being such a great collaborator on all levels.

My friend and co-presenter Jan Grenke and I appreciating the sun’s warmth and light and the best photo capture of the day of a young sprout liking my wire sculptures. He came to visit the Snowy Owl he sees hanging in my little forest as he walks by with his grandma and then fell in love with Tommy Tuxedo!

What a beautiful day!

Thanks everyone!!!
