Last year it took me months to come up with a new years resolution. So much had just changed, I had only been in Boston for three months at the beginning of 2012, I was in a new relationship, I was enjoying my graduate school, and my most important unconscious resolution was just to get …
Friday was a difficult day. I had to pick up paintings from two art shows and then make a speech at Ignite Craft Boston all in the space of one afternoon. It was one of those days where having a car would have been really convenient. As I ran out the door to catch the …
Here’s yet another of the many ideas I’ve had about my knitted canvasses: Use clear gesso so that the color of the yarn is the first color in the painting. I haven’t started to do it yet, but I have a couple canvasses waiting and a couple paintings about to be done. So as soon …
I have a lovely friend. Her name is Emily. She makes me smile because she has wonderful ideas and is incredibly passionate. She also always laughs, which makes me laugh, which turns our laughter into a chain reaction. Earlier this week we had lunch together and she laughed as we walked up the ramp from …
Alright, here it is, the next big thing. Some ideas I have are silly little things that make me smile, but some make me call everyone I know and say “So…. I have a NEW IDEA!” This is one of the latter. I’ve been working on my knitted canvasses for a while now and I …

When I decided to open some sort of art center one of my many ideas was to have a van with the license plate GOGH. I thought, and still do think, that this was incredibly witty. So too, apparently, did several other people. But the important part of that, is that it’s had me looking …
What if I combined my artist signature (an M with an A inside) with the type of spontaneous geometric doodling I do? The idea came at the beginning of a class last fall and was completed by the end of it.
Earlier this year (I guess last year, technically), I stumbled upon an incredible awareness campaign. An old friend of mine had posted it on her Facebook and intrigued by the title, I stopped to watch it instead of continuing my scroll past. Dumb Ways to Die (shown below) is a video where dancing… things get …
