“Jill-in-the-Box…with Attitude!”

Jill-in-the-Box with Attitude! $120

SOLD

At Ashland Art Works Galleries, we periodically do challenges, some for charity, some to sell ourselves, all for fun.  Since we have artists of several different mediums, the results are always interesting.  “Jill-in-the-Box…with Attitude!” arose because we all started with the box and went from there.  I loved Jack-in-the-Box when I was a kid.  I had this doll begun, and she seeemd to want to spring to life.  It was a fun pairing!  I like her.  Here’s a slide show of her with close ups. 

Stop by Ashland Art Works at 291 Oak Street, Ashland, OR and see her in person, with her compatriots by my excellent and wonderful fellow artists.

On a Dark and Stormy Night

As it snowed outside, I felt so warm and cozy inside.  I love being in my studio, marinating in creative juices. 

Standing at my window for a moment to watch the snowfall, I noticed blossoms on the tree under the snow.  Then…my reflection and that of the warm room glowed trancelike to my attention.  I captured this image. 

My studio’s warmth on a dark and stormy night…

Creativity inside and out...nature: the ultimate inspiration...

“Today the Tao is Dancing”

"Today the Tao is Dancing"

Just as so many ancient spiritual traditions are being renewed today as the world’s heart begins to open again, so this piece reflects an ancient tradition dancing in the light of new energy.

The Tao’s way is very ancient, serene, and patient.  The new world moves more quickly, yet when that movement emerges from a still, silent, deep place it is beautiful dance…in whatever form. 

Thus, the Tao dances.

I accept Pay Pal and personal checks.
