Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending a gallery opening at the Center for Visual Arts in Wausau, WI. It was a particularly special gallery opening, as it was my very first! One of my favorite pieces, Kathmandu Back Alley, was chosen to be in the Wisconsin Craft Biennial show, this year called: ReGeneration. WI Craft, an artist guild that I belong to, does a member show every 2 years, and I was honored to have Kathmandu Back Alley selected for the … [Read more...] about Wisconsin Craft: ReGeneration Show at the CVA

A Cold February Morning on Lake Michigan
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 2/4/2023. To call the morning brisk would be an understatement - it was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12C). It was however, incredibly beautiful. We ventured out about an hour before sunrise to catch the view from downtown Milwaukee at Lake Michigan. It was chilly 14 degrees according to the thermometer in my car.

Image of the Month - January 2022 Kathmandu Back Alley Kathmandu, Nepal. May 2018. One of my absolute favorite photos from Nepal. This was taken on a rainy night a few blocks where I was staying. Every alley is an adventure. A hidden bar or restaurant. An out of the way tattoo parlor. There was one alley that we had to carefully climb over loose rebar (laying around for reconstruction after the earthquake) to get to our favorite place to eat. Kathmandu is filled with magic and … [Read more...] about Image of the Month – January 2022
