Game Review: Dixit
I go to a gaming night every Thursday at a friend’s house. Typically anywhere from a dozen or so to up to thirty people show up to play board games and card games or even BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle
(a trivia gameshow on the Playstation). Having been exposed to many, many games through this...
Enter Here >> Art Book
I had a photo book printed of a lot of my artwork in all mediums. If you would like to just flip through and see a wide variety of my art without having to go to all the different albums, I’ve recreated the photo book page by page in an album here…
Painting Progress
This is a slideshow of my progress on my current painting.
My current work is tentatively titled “Creation” and is the second in the series that began with Being Art.
2009 Art Slideshow Video
This is a slideshow of artwork I’ve done mostly in the last 3 years (only the last two pieces are older). The slideshow includes over 60 pieces of art and is divided up into four sections: Photograms, Paintings, Photography, and Sculpture. Enjoy! Music is “Daydreams” by Scott Huckabay, used with permission. Visit his site here: http://www.ScottHuckabay.com

Four Paintings About Light

"Being Art" video
“Being Art” oil on canvas, 57” x 57” which I painted in 2008. This piece explores the juxtaposition of the bipolar mind and the urge for artistic expression. It portrays the attempt to make one’s crazy life itself into a work of art, rather than letting it destroy you.

Afternoon Reverie Time Lapse Movie (2007)
Yet another one of several of these time-lapse movies that I assembled from webcam images taken while I worked on a painting. This is from April 2007; the painting is called Afternoon Reverie. The subject of the piece is, as so often is the case, my son Dominic. The photo the painting is based on won an honorable mention at the...
Leaving Chinatown Painting Time Lapse Movie (2007)
This is another one of several of these time-lapse movies that I assembled from webcam images. This is from April 2007; the painting is called Leaving Chinatown. The painting won Best of Show at the Kennesaw State University Student Art Show in 2007.
Enlightenment Painting Time Lapse Movie (2007)
This is another one of several of these time-lapse movies that I assembled from webcam images. This is from April 2007; the painting is called Enlightenment. If you like it, you can buy prints of this painting (or the original) by clicking on the picture to the right.

Still Life #2 Time Lapse Movie (2006)
I have several of these time-lapse videos of progress on some of my paintings. This is probably the least interesting of them, so I will start here just so that future ones seem better by comparison…
This is probably one of the first 10 oil paintings I ever did.
(Sorry for all the white space around the movie. I did this with some old program and now that I have a nice shiny new copy...
May 2008 Newsletter
Well it’s been a while since the last newsletter. As far as the website goes, I’ve upgraded the software I use to run it, and after working out a bug where all of the titles vanished, it seems to be quite stable. I’ve added a few features. One is a copy&paste bit at the bottom of each article on the off chance anyone wanted to link to it. Another is an additional search box at...
Enter Here >> Sculpture Gallery
I had dabbled in some Sculpey knick-knacks but started to attempt “real” sculpture in the spring of 2008 when I took my first sculpture course. You can view my various attempts in the Gallery.

Enter Here >> Photography and Photograms
I began doing black and white photography, including darkroom processing, in 2006. I enjoyed the medium quite a bit but do not currently have the facilities to do much more of it at this time. I have a collection of photographs and of photograms (no camera is involved, you place objects directly on the photo paper and expose it, then develop it as a print) in my Gallery.
Click to enter the Photography Album in my...

I began painting in August 2006. Most of my work is online in my Gallery.

An Analysis Of My Painting "The Enlightenment"
I was contacted by a student named Roy who was writing an art analysis paper for a class. The assignment was apparently to choose the work they found most compelling from the student exhibition and write an analysis of it. Roy told me he had chosen one of my pieces, The Enlightenment, and wanted to know if there was any other information about it that he should know. I told him it...

Clothing Design: Wedding Dress, 1991
In 1991 when I was about to get married to Rob, my mom and I went to bridal shop after bridal shop searching for just the right dress. We didn't really find anything that stood out to me, and the price tags would make your hair fall out!
Eventually we decided to have the dress custom made rather than buying one off the rack. Surprisingly, this was a much less expensive option! I sketched out...
Clothing Design: Bloomers, Skirt, and a Blouse, 1991
In the summer of 1991, my (now ex-) husband and I visited my mother-in-law’s house in rural Michigan, (this was before she was my mother-in-law). She had a wonderful antique treadle Singer sewing machine. On a whim one day…
Clothing Design: Corset Skirt, 1992
Here is a corset skirt I designed back in 1992. You'll have to excuse the poor quality of the photos--I hope to take better ones eventually. The blouse looks funny because it is hanging over the edge of a table.
The top of the skirt comes to just under the bust. The skirt is shorter in the front than the back, with a lot of lace... it took me about 36 hours to...
ASCII Art
I think that ASCII art is a sort of neat side niche of the typographical age. I remember back in 1985, taking a typing class in 7th grade... we learned on manual typewriters with no letters on the keys. There were maybe 20 of them in the classroom. There were also about 3 electric typewriters, which the kids who got to class first would jump to claim. When you were done with your drills out...
Clothing Design: Quick Dress Sketches, 1993
These are a few sketches of dress ideas I had. I may make them someday, I may not.
