The store is full of greeting cards and paintings, and this year you can buy online with credit and debit cards, allowing me to send your cards instantaneously. This year I have two sets of Christmas cards and two sets of blank, all-season cards. The new "Four Seasons" set is based on the wisdom of seasonal cycles. Black and white designs were cut with an Exacto knife from a single sheet of black paper and have strong lines reminiscent of wood-block prints. "Alaric’s Art" cards come from my seven-year-old friend Alaric’s wacky and wonderful drawings. (The proceeds from these sales will also support his artist fund.) Mix-and-mach to make your own set of favorite designs. Painting Sale: I will also be selling cards and prints at these holiday fairs in Portland: DaVinci Arts Fair Infusion: a celebration of creativity in our community Enjoy the Holidays and thanks for your support! 10/2/06 - Alaric's Art showing in Northwest Portland These vibrant paintings started as drawings made by my friend Alaric. He was five, and we were sitting on his living room floor trading pictures with each other. I was so enthralled with his drawings that I blew them up and painted them brightly so that other adults could admire them. Alaric lives in Milwaukie with his mother, loves comic books, and frequently builds little creatures out of things he finds. Meet the Artists! Show remains up through November. 7/6/06 - My next art show will open at the B-Street Gallery in Northwest Portland, during the Pearl District's First Thursday art walk. Stay tuned for more details. 6/1/06 - Just to ensure that the left side of the brain still works, this winter I have been developing a business plan for my freelance career. This outlines my financial and creative goals for the next five years. Feel free to browse and give feedback on my overview. 5/1/06 - New stuff on the website makes it easier to buy art! Highlight include: Pay-pal account which means you can buy cards and prints online (starting in October); a quote request form for potential buyers to fill out, and an updated page on what's for sale now. I have also added a teaching page so that you can follow what I'm doing in the community. Lots of thanks to graphic designer James Sitzer for his web help (www.jamessitzer.com) 3/9/06 - I have started an artist residency at Lot Whitcomb Elementary in Southeast Portland.

See more on the teaching page. 11/10/05 - *HOLIDAY CARDS FOR SALE!* This fall, I have fallen in love with paper cutting--using an exacto knife to cut line drawings out of black paper. The 2005 "Silent Cards" illustrate some of my favorite carol lyrics with this technique. They are simple and peaceful and I hope they make you smile. I am selling this set and the Christmas Calligraphy set via mail-order. Print off the order form here. 10/12/05 - For the next ten days, I will be drawing and writing on the shore of a cerulean blue lake in the Cascade Mountain Range of Central Oregon.
