I was honored to join Aubrey Chaves, Tim Chaves and The Lisa Show's Lisa Valentine Clark—comedian, actor—to talk about creativity, making, and the deeper work that happens when we create.

Both of us have spent our lives making things—in front of audiences, in studios, and in classrooms. Through those experiences, I’ve come to believe that creativity does sacred work inside us. It gives form to what we’re wrestling with. It helps clarify what we think and feel. It helps us metabolize the unexpected. And maybe most importantly, it invites us into deeper presence with our lives.

For me, making art has never just been about the finished piece. It’s about the process of paying attention, asking questions, and allowing something meaningful to emerge.

The 100 Dollar Show is a one-night event held annually on the first Thursday evening following Thanksgiving. Selected artists are invited to sell original works of art for $100 each. The purpose of the 100 Dollar Show is for both the museum and local artists to give back to the community by allowing them the opportunity to purchase original works of art at an affordable price.

Fellow art educators in California Art Education Association ! I'll be joining you at CAEA in downtown LA in a couple of weeks!

We believe that surrounding yourself with those you love and with what you love makes life more beautiful. It creates a place where one can emerge more secure, centered, and able to face the storms of life.  The right art can set a tone for more awareness and gratitude for everyday miracles. Art is such a simple thing to add to your life. That is what we are passionate about at New Vision Art. We want to assist in adding beauty to your lives. Watch for miracles to happen.

Not only will you get to see where the magic happens and browse a variety of new and existing artworks—perfect for adding something unique to your own collection or finding a truly special gift—but we're making it a party!

Evenings for Educators is a professional development program for classroom and art teachers throughout the state of Utah! Evenings are held throughout the academic year at museums and galleries across the state of Utah. They feature keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities..

I’ll be presenting on Visual Journals: Boosting Conceptual Thinking

In preparation for an international discussion about the power of digital story telling… a group of artist/educators will share their ideas via zoom.

Come see me work on art the morning of August 29th!

In my workshops, art teachers engage as artists—exploring materials, reflecting on process, and discovering strategies to bring inquiry and student voice into their classrooms.

Step inside my studio for a curated glimpse into the unexpected. I'll be showing a range of monotype prints, relief prints, and oil paintings—many of which have never been exhibited. These are explorations, departures, and one-of-a-kind pieces pulled from the flat files and corners of my creative curiosity. These works are all for sale at a great price. Come visit, wander, and see what you might find to add to your collection!
