My retrospective show Feb. 7

This is a busy time for me as I will be hosting a guest from New Zealand for six days while we explore the encaustic medium and techniques, and possibly delve into some cold wax and oil painting as well. A few days after that, my retrospective exhibition opens for a weeklong showing at the Casa de la Noche in San Miguel. At my advanced age, I want to bring many paintings out of storage and into their forever homes. This will be a special show where I invite collectors and visitors to make offers on my work. You will have the opportunity to own one of my paintings at a reduced price. All reasonable offers will be accepted. If you are not in town, you can check my website to view the paintings available for purchase. The show opens on February 7th from 2 PM to 5 PM and closes on February 16th, featuring an artist's talk at 3 PM. With 65 years as a working artist, I’m not finished yet. I look forward to making room for more creative adventures and continuing to teach the exciting encaustic technique. Here are some comments about my work: "Stunning! Literally every piece in this video is outstanding! Thank you so very much for introducing yourself to those of us who hadn’t had the opportunity to meet you previously." "An enjoyable journey through the years of seeing your work! Great diversity in line and color, keeping the creative door open. It is the equivalent of a writer's portfolio of poetry, short stories, essays, and novels." "Such gorgeous work from the very beginning and continuing today. Thank you for sharing with us. I am truly touched."

The Power of Red SD 480p

Living a passionate life

People have asked me how I do it? How can an old woman,like me, be so energertic, happy and creative? Some have even said that I was an inspiration. These comments made me stop and think about my life, my history, life path, peace and joy. To share the story of my life, I have begun to write on Substack. These sharings come from my life experiences and from editing from my 3 books; "Fireworks at Dawn", my menoir, "The Power of Color" and "Better Than Before'.
