Today is the day.

Today is the day I became a published author. It feels scary and exhilarating at the same time.  A day of exposing my rawness as I shed my heavy cloak of secrecy. Today is a day of becoming.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is often a day of mixed emotion for me. I think about my mother today as my book Plaid undergoes it’s final preparations before publishing. Today I took photographs of artwork that will be part of my yet unfinished ”strategic”marketing plan. I think about my childhood as I create. As a child, I stayed awake for long periods of time in my bed. I made shapes from the beams of light that shone on the wall from torn window shades.
Pantyhose People began then. I fold this memory into my art along with the memory of paper dolls once given to me on Christmas.

I’d like to spend more time here on the patio in Savannah but practical things like work call me. This depicts just about how I feel right now.

a watchful eye

I recently volunteered to help someone clean out the house of their mother who had passed away after a 3 month (unbeknownst to them)bout with cancer. With the physical work done, my friend wandered about the empty house doing emotional work.With a lot of time on my hands I got out my always handy camera. 10 siblings are to “share and share alike”according to her will.For the most part they are with the exception of a cookie jar.
