Notes about poem and art:
• I wrote “listing” on an afternoon when my body was signaling that something in my mind was out of alignment.
Our House had as its reference a photo taken by my daughter-in-law Christine while she and Jay traveled recently in Innsbruck. Christine informed us that street art in Europe can be very good—the photo is actually of a wall, but as I have houses on the brain I say, Make yourself at home!

My Story

In 2014, I grab an unexpected opportunity to paint.

To make art.

I get hooked.

In 2015 I start a blog—a diary of my life as an artist.

I post my paintings and their stories. The good, the bad, the ugly.

My compass points: bust through fear, be playful, get messy, trust my gut.
