In this time of upheaval...

I had to do some soul searching about the importance of making new paintings in this time of gobal upheaval and I came to the conclusion that it is vital to create as much beauty as possible for myself and all others. I tried to post a video of an older video I made about choosig peace, but I can't attach any links to this blog. What can I do about the crisis happening to the collective - unless you are a billionare? I am am old lady, living a quiet, peaceful life: teaching, mediating and creating and those small actions are enough. I carry the peace in my heart and hope to share it with all I meet. If you can't see the predictament this world is experiening, you can't "fix it" So I am considering that truth of the evil, greed and lies those in power are perpertrating now and have been perpertrating on the world for countless years can no longer be hidded. I made a decision that one small way I can express my support for those who are suffering with raging prices is to offer my online encasutic classes at a big reduction, so any who are interested in expanding their thoughts and creativing to choose our own inner peace and hope. The link to the online clasees is; vimeo.com/ondemand/theencausticacademy - sorry that I can't post a live link, but for the month of April, 2026 the cost is only $99 from $199 for all 14 classes.

Time for new work

Recently,I had the pleasure of hosting several encaustic workshops - all included family members. I appreciate meeting all the new creatives that I wouldn't have met without the workshops. Yesterday, I took a deep breath and cleaned the studio. It needed it after I spent the last week working on a diptych.

Today, I am enthused to start a new painting, probably with a different color palette. I am thinking of a warm red. We'll see where it goes. Here's a nice interview of me and my work. Thank you Artsy Shark
