Thank you to all who came to our artist talk panel today! It’s not too often someone hands me a microphone and asks me to speak into it.

We lost our girl Oro on June 9th. It’s been a summer of grief. She really was the best and most loved dog, my adventure buddy and irreplaceable best friend.

The title of this piece is from a poem by Mary Oliver - “Her Grave”.

 

I spent the week at KCAI learning about printmaking techniques - very informative and now I have a whole new appreciation for printmakers for what is a very labor intensive process!

“The Truth doesn't need your cooperation to exist. All forms of cult, all forms of hype, all forms of delusion do require your participation in order to exist. I've looked into marginal areas of human experience - historical and otherwise - with a rational mind, and what I've found is that doorways into the miraculous are far fewer than the publicists of the New Age would have us believe. On the other hand, they are not as rare as the proponents of radical reductionism and materialism would have us believe. There are doorways out of the mundane.”
