I love these photos. They are so magical, sometimes I can't believe I was able to capture this on film.

Into the Woods

Circles of Confusion

My brain is still in this state... does anyone have any ideas for a job that I would enjoy that can be part-time? If anyone has any insight into my great creative qualities that I am overlooking, please let me know. I am desperately seeking satisfaction and financial stability. Surely this can be achieved.

xmas cards

Every year I want to use this collage for Christmas cards but never get it together to send out from my family to yours. Now, in the digital age, I will post it for all to see and admire our creepy and kooky family! Notice how Matt resembles Uncle Fester a little too closely....


Yes, I can save trees, stamps and the postman's back by posting my cards online. Let's consider this a catch-up for 3 years ago. I'll post another next month then I should be just about there as far as I can figure.

Anyhoo, much work to do. I have to promote myself shamelessly now by posting photos online and write a grant application for Matt. Somehow, the money will start coming in. All I have to do is believe a little more.

glove full of thistle

I'm going upstate this weekend to visit the house. Who knows what I'll find since we haven't been up in a while. The mice and other critters tend to take over; they really own the place, we just visit from time to time! My first winter was the most challenging, those darn mice ate just about everything from the dry pasta to the olive oil. I guess they like Italian food just as much as I do.

Enjoy this beautiful fall weather that has finally arrived here in the city. I'm sure there is 12 feet of snow already on my doorstep upstate! eek!

Swirling minds want to know

This is how my head feels as of late. I am in the midst of searching for a new job, one that I will enjoy, has flexible hours and will pay me enough to feel good about getting that paycheck every week. Sound impossible? It's starting to feel impossible but I know there's something out there! I attempted to leave the artworld, thinking that would be the right thing for me... turns out that is a frightening proposition! The corporate world is very scary in a way I can't quite explain but I think it has something to do with a loss of freedom or one's identity.

My new approach is looking into not-for-profit arts organizations. I want to do something that makes me feel good and will help others. And I like the idea of helping artists, myself included. Am also grappling with the idea of starting my own company, working with artists on fun projects. I dont' want to go into too much detail but it's definitely appealling but also a little bit daunting. I am working on getting over my fear and just diving into being self-employed. If anyone out there would like to donate money to this cause, please feel free to contact me directly.

Don't Drink the Water!

It's true what they say about the water in foreign countries...don't drink it! Don't even drink the water on an airplane unless it comes in a bottle. Don't brush your teeth with tap water and don't, god forbid, take a pill with tap water. What was I thinking? I obviously wasn't. Now, I know the reality of having bacteria in my intestines and it ain't pretty. Finally, I went to the doctor and am now on a round of antibiotics to kill off those little buggers.
