On May 8, 2026, David Attenborough turned 100 years old and he has always been an inspiration to me so I was inspired to create this portrait in his honor. Pastel. Available.

I’m calmly painting and being tidy when I smudge cadmium yellow on my tee shirt, instantly transforming it into a painting smock. Then I manage to get Prussian blue all over my hands (mysteriously) and trying to clean it off I end up with cadmium orange all over them too.

She’s back!!!!

A cover I did for my mom’s book Walks Away Woman. Read post for exciting news!

Some stories don’t end when the last page is turned… they just wait.
Behind the scenes, several of Mom’s stories are quietly taking shape for the screen, with Walks Away Woman the first moving closer toward production.
What’s been especially meaningful is that the filmmakers driving these adaptations are doing so because they love these characters and stories as much as we all do.
We’ve also been deeply moved by the remarkable actors who have connected with Molly Brock’s story, and we can’t wait to share more.
With all the excitement, we're getting mom's books shipshape, and below is the new cover of Walks Away Woman. (Click on image to see full cover.) Sydney is working like stinko to produce new covers for many of mom's books, with this being the first. Silky is doing what Silky does, and is now back on the editing/media side of things.
Things are happening, dear readers, and we are so very excited to tell you all. Soon, very soon. For now, we wanted you to know: this story is still walking.✨️

Not planned in advance but rather inspired by, I have commenced a portrait of Sir David Attenborough, who turned 100 today. An amazing great age. As long as he is still able to enjoy life I congratulate him. I’m just happy he’s still in my world.

Starting work in my super compact studio space (that doubles as kitchen). I’m leaning against the stove to take the photo. Sneaking preview on easel of something I am working on.

Time traveling still. This is from November 2020. Tit in a beanie. And why not?
