Let it rain
Oh! What’s that? Peaches looks startled as something looks like it’s hopping across the trail. I think: a toad! But when I look again, I see it’s a mole, stopping and starting as it wends its way over the dry, dry trail. I’m guessing the poor mole couldn’t find or make his usual hole in […]
Surrounding space
Last weekend the lake was FULL : boats going back and forrh, people in kayaks and canoes and SUPs, swimmers enjoying late season lake water (still warm-ish). Labor Day Weekend.This weekend, clouds, thunder, rain. Quiet. Summer is ending. I knew it would. But why is it so hard? Why am I sad? Part of it […]
end of August, Squam Lake 2025
What a great August here at Squam. Warm and sunny for days on end. Family and friends “lived” in the water, day in and day out. But now: Where did they all go? The cormorant, taking a moment to dry his wings, wants to know. But I also want to know where the cormorant was […]
can you guess?
I’m dedicating this blog post to Artemis who is 5 years old. Maybe someday Mischa, now 4 months old, will appreciate it. Both young artists were visiting me from Toronto, so I thought I’d share some fun with them. And perhaps strong baby David will like this some day as well. It’s all about what […]
sad
Are you ever ready for someone close to you to… die? Even if you knew they were facing challenges. Even if you knew they were not as strong as you wanted them to be. All of that was true for me. When I first started spending time with Trum (short for Trumbull), after a fun […]
spring is all about… art is all about…
Spring is all about what’s coming into form, right? All about becoming. And unfolding. AND… Art is all about… Yes. You start with looking? With colors? With an idea? Maybe this: You look again. “I wonder if I shift the colors a bit. And play with the lines?”: And play more: Hmmm… “I wonder: How […]

Thank you, Louisa and Kristin and Jennifer and Genie and and and… The […]
why make art? it and behind it
Why? Don’t you love that question. Why make art? Why do love what you love to do? So if anyone asked me, why I make art. Or why any artist makes art… I’ll share with you part of my journey to my answer to why it is such a deep pleasure for me. My sister, […]
help me with this
I want to ask you what you think. I had posted an image of my art on canvas: girls learning outdoors, but I hadn’t actually put it on my online shop site. When people asked about it, I was encouraged to offer it. And to offer more of my embroideries in this format. It occurred […]
intensity/calm (we hope)
I think it was when I first was introduced to astrology years and years and years ago that the concept of the time you were born – or that times at all – had a particular energy, and that this moment was part of a larger moment of all that was happening in the universe. […]
