This was the most fun I have had in a while. On Saturday thirteen of us took an overnight trek on the Colorado Trail, and took eleven llamas with us to carry our gear and French wine. The trail head was outside of Salida, where we met up with the outfitter; we started by rounding …

Dragonfly
This is the next painting in the spring collection; again this is painted in acrylics with pastel accents. The painting is intended to hang in a girl’s room, or any other place where children congregate.
Denver Public Art
Yesterday I attended a meeting for artists at the Denver Office Of cultural Affairs. The topic of the seminar was about future Public Art Projects and how to apply for them. I was very impressed with Mayor John Hickenlooper’s speech, and the city official’s positive attitude towards art in general. I am looking over the …
“Birds in Tree” mural
This week I finally finished the “Birds in Tree” juvenile mural; I had so much fun working on this, that I am going to continue the theme throughout the room; just like working on a collection, it is interesting to expand on an idea. My house is becoming a showcase for my murals, and am …
Lecture at Colorado College
A couple of nights ago Spike lee gave a lecture at Colorado College, which I attended with a friend. It was really inspiring to hear his story about the beginning of his career. The challenges of a film maker appear to be similar to those of an illustrator; the bottom line was that Spike talked …
Art Licensing Forum
last night I joined the Art Licensing Forum, an online networking site for artists and designers who license their work to publishers and manufacturers. So glad that my friends keep me updated about the latest web resources.
Another lovely hike

Hiking in the Rockies
When I am not in my studio creating new pieces, I enjoy outdoor activities in Colorado. Living in the front range is ideal for me, as there is such easy access to the mountains. Last week-end I took a hike in Aiken Canyon, which is on Nature Conservancy land just twenty miles south of Colorado …
Women’s Living Expo
Although the show is over now, I am still reflecting on the four days spent setting up and talking with the individuals in my booth. The traffic could have been better, but it was wonderful to see the children’s reactions to some of the art work, in particular the new painting of the mermaid. Little …
SCBWI
last week-end I attended the SCBWI conference in lakewood, Colorado to learn more about how to illustrate children’s books. The bulk of my work in recent years has been designing children’s images, which can expand into many areas.
Women’s Living Expo
Now that I am back from my trip to Europe, I am starting to develop ideas for my booth at a trade show where I will be exhibiting in October; the Women’s Living Expo in Colorado Springs features products and services that are of interest to women. As I specialize in juvenile and baby …
Musée De L’Elysée
Today I visited another museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Musée de L’Elysée. This one is entirely dedicated to photography; the theme of this particular show is “adolelesence”; the photographs of young people were created by European as well as America Artists. If it had not been pouring with rain I would have gone into the …
