I'm a small "s" southerner living in the desert southwest, working, teaching and making art as much as possible.

  • We made a road trip of picking my stepson up from a forestry service work program in #SteamBoatSprings, #Colorado summer of 2018. I spent mornings while my guys were snoozing walking/running the neighborhood above the main drag and found this. #harrypotter #diagonalley #runningwoman #neverstopexploring
  • These adorn my office cubicle and amuse me no end. Thanks to @awatsonbarber_claro for the awesome pins. #catbutts #catpins #officedecor #officesupplies #greatfriends #greatgifts #giftsforcatlovers
  • Settings in progress for this group of enamels. Shameless plug follows: I'm teaching an enamel class at MAC starting Jan. 23. I cover everything a beginner needs and practically every technique you could want to learn. Advanced enamelists can come use the studio and do your own thing. Class runs 15 weeks, Wednesday nights 6.30-9.30pm. You can register at mesaartscenter.com. Please pass on the info for anyone who might be interested. Pictured are two copper cloisonne enamels from a series that started out as topography inspired but the big one looks like something the Hubble took of deep space, which I'm really excited about. The other enamels are a combination of crackle and luster techniques, which are really fun to experiment with. #enamel #enameling #classes #cloisonne #lusters #crackle #raku #painting #stencils #decals #sgraffito #wetpacking #feathering #torchfiring #kiln #MesaArtsCenter #metals #jewelry

  • The most poetic explanation I ever heard for what the word/name "buddha" means is, "The one whose eyes have opened." These buddhas had already had their coffee when I shuffled by in the morning. #funkyoldtempe #buddha #awakened #yardart

I take strange photos and post them here. Sometimes they are even about metals.
