Be a Scribe to Your Time
Early on in the pandemic (how’s that for a fairytale starting sentence) a spectacular emerging artist from the U.K. who I follow, wrote that artists who didn’t acknowledge this earth shattering shift would be denying or ignoring the completeness and truth of their...
An Unfinished Vignette
Since you have shown love for my unfinished vignettes, here is another one. Curtains are not up, chandelier is in flux, and my bespoke coffee table of my design from a sculptural piece of cedar driftwood I picked out from my lake, has yet to replace these lovely ones...
From Me to We
My bliving room is still not done, and now, only God knows if and when it ever will be, and when or if that will ever matter to me again. Self Isolation is really an eye opening exercise. It is as if Mother Nature put us in timeout to think about what we have done,...

Let me introduce you to my bliving room
Let me introduce you to my bliving room. That’s right. You heard it here first folks. After my walk in closet with a window was stolen from underneath me because my partner chooses to stand up to have a shower (have you EVAH heard) I gilded the silver lined lily of...
Mouldings are a thing you know
Mouldings are a thing you know. The kind of thing that keeps me up at night. In the past week I have being putting way too many neurons into the most important detail no one ever notices in a home. To me it was a sphinxes’ riddle: how to make an original moulding so...
The storm
