I think the addition of the gift tag to Jesus on the cross is an interesting combination, as I consider the first week of Advent. This assemblage is meant to act as an Advent calendar that I will add to during the weeks of Advent. This is week one, and I ponder Jesus as a gift to us during the Christmas season: hence the gift tag. At the same time, I ponder what's "trite" about the season: ugly Christmas sweaters, funny Santa hats, gift wrap, bows, decorations, gift tags, and holiday fun. I also consider that God might be good with all of these "trite" things. Maybe God appreciates joy for humans as they celebrate with each other and find happiness in simple, little, "trite" things. Still, I want to remember the profoundness in this Christmas season and remember there is a deep rich meaning in this holiday. I will still find joy in the "trite," but I choose to look deeper. It's an opportunity to take a journey in search of greater understanding.

First things first: are these promotional materials and invites not wonderfully adorable and fun? I think they're just delightful!

Another matter: South Haven Center for the Arts is having its 39th Annual Mistletoe Market! This is the perfect place to have some holiday fun and purchase some wonderful holiday gifts. The artists that share their works for this exhibition will not disappoint. I am always astounded by the breath of talent, the fabulous holiday wares to choose from, and the affordable prices. All of this happens within a beautiful space that's filled with seasonal joy and cheer. Enjoy the wonderful local art and gifts Mistletoe Market has to offer this year. I can promise you that this will be worth the journey!

I just love this. I don't know why. The creative journey always surprises.

"Infant of Prague" was part of the Off-Center: Art that Pushes Boundaries National Juried Exhibition at the Northville Art House. Up next, the Small Works All Media National Exhibition. This is an upcoming juried exhibition at the Northville Art House. Come check it out. A great way to enjoy some art, and also consider some wonderful possibilities for holiday gifts. This work, across the board, will not disappoint. This exhibit opens on November 14th and closes on December 18th. Mark your calendar for a visit!

We climb toward something unseen—through color, through layers, through ourselves.
The summit isn’t above us, it’s within us. Our ascent is the journey.

Playing with my piece titled "Enshrined" that is part of the Off-Center: Art that Pushes Boundaries national juried exhibition at the Northville Art House. Many thanks to my friend, JoAnne Ickes Muzzi, who showed up unexpectedly and took great pleasure in enjoying every single piece in this show. Grateful for her companionship and encouragement. Wish the participating artists could have heard her take delight in each of their works. Thanks again to Dean Rogers for jurying an incredible show. An honor to share my "off center" among these outstanding artists within this beautifully curated space. Worth the journey to see this wonderful collection of "off center" art.

Tree of Life. Made a lino cut of the tree you see in this monoprint. It was a journey trying different variations on the "Tree of Life" theme.

Proud to be included in Ghosts That Linger at — my assemblage Story Box even made it to the marquee! So grateful for the ways this gallery supports artists like me. Glad for the encouragement and exposure. Exhibit runs through November 8, 2026 in South Haven, MI. Absolutely worth the journey!

I have truly enjoyed following other artists on social media, and the inspiration I find in the work of others is invaluable. As I reach towards a milestone, I consider the time it takes to encourage those who have encouraged me. Thanks for the likes, follows, words of encouragement, and insight. Moving forward, I will continue to give support to those who have given it to me. Artists must support other artists. If you are an artist or an art enthusist (or if you are curious about the crazy creations I'm knee deep in creating) please follow me on Instagram. I will do my best to inspire you to create and enjoy the art of creation.
