gallery night 7/27

there is absolutely no better night for art in milwaukee than the july gallery night. i am so excited to be part of another one. made in milwaukee was kind enough to ask me to participate in their 5th event supporting local art, music, fashion and design. i'll have a table full of goodies set up with prints and paintings for sale. oh yeah, and i'll be doing live art... god help me.

should be an exceptionally good time. music, art, fashion, beer---something for everyone, you know. so stop down, show your love for milwaukee and come find me. say hello. i would love to know you're there!

independence day

BEN AND I went to the cottage again over the holiday.

every morning feels like waking up in the trees there

we take long drives and stop along the way

we eat very--very well

and i push colors on the back porch to my heart's content.

setting the pace of present

essence and "to be" are not beings which are, but beings or principles by which something is (non entia quae sunt sed entia quibus aliquid est). 
excerpt from the book the philosophy of being. i picked it up at a thrift store to inspire me and/or use in collage.
someday we will fly from our cages with tame words and unleashed hearts.
made this up at the cottage earlier this week. i tried a few times to paint the trees or a still life but nothing would go. until i pulled out one of my thrift store books, some stencils, started gluing, slopping paint and listened to a strong voice inside.
