My studio is located in Metro-Atlanta, Georgia..Marietta, Georgia in the Artisan Resource Center.

The Studio
This is the studio before. I moved into this studio last March. For many years, I have had a studio at the Artisan Resource Center. So far I’ve inhabited three studios in this complex.

Red Earth
I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico on a trip purely for pleasure and when I got off the plane in Albuquerque, I immediately felt “at home” . As the trip proceeded that degree of comfort continued. The air, the sky, everything about the area was so enjoyable. At the time I had read every … Continue reading
How Do You Know?
How do you know when a series is over? I have asked myself that question more times than I can count. At this point I have to answer the question with a resounding “it is never really over”. A week ago I would have answered it differently. The two series that continue in the studio … Continue reading
