Speaking from my heart, over the air waves
This town I live in, this town I love—Moscow, Idaho—is home to the University of Idaho. I often tell people it’s a small town with a big heart, straddling the state line between Washington and north Idaho. It also has

I’ve been listed in Art in America
I may not have ever known—except by chance. My hubby visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago two weeks ago when attending a conference. In the museum bookstore, he spotted a copy of The Art in America 2012 Annual

Tracing old water as monoprints
My favorite music is the music I haven’t heard. I don’t hear the music I write. I write in order to hear music I haven’t yet heard. —John Cage Yes, yes, and yes! I know only that I am part pioneer,

Modern Ancestral, Australian Aboriginal Art
Ancestral Modern. Diametrically opposed terms? Not so … at least not with respect to the exhibit of Australian Aboriginal Art at the Seattle Art Museum. A first-of-its-kind for the West Coast, it features more than 100 paintings, prints and sculptures. I couldn’t

Chihuly’s Garden and Glass, mirror of creation
Imagine … every conceivable variation of reds, yellows, blues, purple, oranges and greens swirling inside dozens of ruffled spheroids, wildly clustered, floating in space. Just the way I imagine creation. I saw the Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle last

Patrick Dougherty and Survival of the Beautiful
I’m reading an amazing book that I haven’t finished, but that’s not going to keep me from writing a post about it. It’s simply good to hold back on praise—though before I say more—here’s how I stumbled onto the book,

Foraging for rock textures at Point Lobos
San Jose, San Francisco and Palo Alto left me giddy after my museum and gallery visits two weeks ago. Understandable, living as I do in north Idaho, so distant from the metro art world. And yet, if I had to

Coming out about Interstitial: Between Earth and Sky
A Google alert stared at me from the inbox when I turned on my computer this morning. Click! A news release: UW Museum presents Interstitial: Between Earth & Sky. I’m always interested in what people have to say about my work.

Micro-macro, Linda Fleming’s intricate maquettes
I first saw the work of Linda Fleming last year during a site visit at the University of Wyoming Art Museum. She was among two dozen artists invited to participate in the Wyoming Sculpture Invitational. Her Refugium took my breath away. I’d never seen

Study of fluidity, Andy Goldsworthy’s Stone River
Surprise, surprise. Andy Goldsworthy at the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University. I couldn’t believe my luck. I’ve long been a fan of his work, but this is the first time I’ve seen one of his earthworks. I’ve only seen photographs

Repulsively seductive, Petah Coyne’s surreal assemblage

Scarred striations, the sculpture of Ursula von Rydingsvard
Working on Interstitial straight through without a lunch break got old. After my first week at the University of Wyoming Art Museum, I discovered more work gets done, better, faster, after a refresher. Besides, there were five exhibitions vying for my attention.
