I’ve recently moved my writing essays over to Substack. It is a free platform for writers, and many of the most respected journalists have left mainstream media and gone on Substack.
Though I really do not consider myself a writer, I have found joy in researching and crafting essays. Most combine my family ties to the art world, and support a long-term project of crafting an art history text book from my personal perspective. It’s a hell of a lot of fun! I hope you think so too!
I am also a proud member of the Iowa Writers Collaborative on Substack and I follow a lot of artists who make journaling a daily habit. Please consider following me and following those that I follow!
My goals are to stay curious and inspired while celebrating beauty and re-framing art history.

The science is out about how an art practice will help you slow down and bring you some inner peace. Yesterdays NYTimes article by Melissa Kirsch shares the same ideas. But it is all easier said than done.
Do you have a project in mind that keeps being put on the back burner? Is there a Painting or sculpture series just waiting to be born? I understand that it is hard to make time to prioritize your own dream and I am here to help.
A grouping of random sunsets
I am excited to share what I’ve been working on in my studio. My lunar collection, where each piece- a wood disk painted in acrylic and sealed with archival UVA protective varnish- is a repeating phase of the moon. On the back- which is drilled for hanging at multiple orientations- are written phrases for meditation inspired by the depicted lunar phase.
Each is one of a kind and precious.
