It has been such a thrill to be published in my favorite art publications. Recently, my work and studio art life was featured in Stampington’s SOMERSET APPRENTICE magazine and the Cloth Paper Scissors STUDIOS publication. What fun it is to go to the store with your work on the shelves. It never gets old!
The Apprentice magazine is a fully illustrated technique book! This has always been one of my “go to” resources for exploring new techniques and finding inspiration from articles with so many new ideas.
They featured my “faux epoxy” technique in my art journal. It’s a great way to bling up the pages.
My son Kevin is the photographer and took these great pictures for the article. He just graduated from college with a degree in Art Education. We are so proud to see his first published byline!

This was my daughter Meghan’s room when she lived at home. When she moved out into her own apartment a few years ago, we had the place emptied and repainted in 4 days! Poor Meghan. It was always a dream to have a nice art studio in my house.
The best part is having a place to work at all hours, leave everything where it is and close the door. It’s a dream come true after spending so many years creating on the dining room table then having to pick everything up for family meals!
