I’ve had a whirlwind summer of travel, and now I have a few weeks to catch up and review what I created! My return trip to Gettysburg this year was delightful and busy! I was a visiting teacher at Adams County Arts Council, where I had the joy of teaching a weeklong Sketchbook Journaling summer […]
Fresh from a trip to the mountains of Yosemite National Park, I’m now getting geared up for my 2017 residency in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania! Last year, I spent thirty days sketching, walking, biking, and painting in Gettysburg National Park. I came home and shared my work in an exhibition at the Half Moon Bay Library in […]
Last September, I decided to create my own artist residency at Gettysburg National Park. I had been a finalist for a sponsored residency, and I told myself if I applied a second time and wasn’t accepted, I would do it anyway. So that’s what happened, and in so many ways, it has turned out to […]
In September 2016, I traveled to Gettysburg National Military Park for a self-created artist residency. In addition to plein air sketching, I created a daily illustrated journal of my experiences and observations. Here are some sample pages from the 72-page volume, currently in process of being compiled into book form.

Here’s to stretching beyond our comfort zones. This morning I installed the pieces of my exhibit at Half Moon Bay Library for my “Gettysburg in 2016” show. This involved several firsts for me. I have never worked on this large a scale (36 inches by 72 inches) before. I have never used fabric and yarn in […]
I really love this video created by Destination Gettysburg where I share my inspiration for spending a month in Gettysburg. I hope you love it too! And if you are in the Half Moon Bay area, please come to see an exhibit of my work from Gettysburg, on display at the Half Moon Bay Library from […]
