Stamps’n’Stuff: Postage Stamp Art

Collage and doodles are scattered through my journal pages and correspondence. This is an [...]

Innovative Thinking Is Learned

Art is a cause, not a result, of creativity.

I have taken jaunts with multiple media. To name a few, I have had phases working in ceramics, textiles, web and I have an enduring fondness for hardware and bits of junk. All the work crosses paths conceptually, experientially and in ways of form.
