  • “The Artist’s Way”

    I did it. I finished the book. I started “The Artist’s Way” after it kept popping up everywhere – from friends mentioning it, to artists I follow on Instagram sharing it in their stories. Everyone was saying it was amazing so I bought the book with no idea what it even was. In case you…

    Switching between projects is one of my favorite ways to boost my creativity and keep up my enthusiasm for my projects. They do say a change is as good as a rest! I like to have a lot of things on the go. My embroidery projects help me be a better writer, and my other…

  • Dirty Little Studio Secret

    Somehow we’re nearly done with August?! 2021 has been a weird year for me. Is anyone else feeling that way? I started the year with the intention of dismantling my studio practices and reexamining my art, and I can confidently say that’s exactly what’s been happening.

    The annual Woodlawn Pope-Leighey Needlework Show is the largest needlework exhibition in the US. Located in a historic property in the greater Washington DC area, this show is unique for another reason: it is judged but not juried, meaning that everyone who submits work will have their work exhibited. Usually, artists submit their work to…

    Secret Ambitions

    I have shared a little bit before about having been diagnosed with a progressive inflammatory disease that causes internal bleeding, and that I was able to have a life-changing operation last summer that has resulted in my going into remission. After years of feeling ill and dealing with constant, excruciating pain, I found myself at…

  • Podcast?

    Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Eleanor Fredrick’s art podcast “Like a Tiny Green Podcast.” I’m not new to podcast interviews, having been featured in several others over the past few years. Interestingly, though, some of the people who have listened to my other interviews expressed hesitation about listening to this one.…
