 A while back I had the good fortune to design a patch for the Girl Scouts of Maine with the WAGE Project. Brownies get the patch through activities that focus on valuing self, beginning to learn negotiation skills, learning about the value of money and savings, and goal setting. I saw the final product today for the first time when these 2-inch beauties arrived in the mail. If I had known they were this cool, I would not have been so patient.

This is one way I make sense of the world. I take a word or phrase then write wherever it takes me. I used to do them on large pieces of foam board but switched to 14x17 paper when T$ started fearing for his life.
I love that I find clarity by creating chaos. I also love how disconnected thoughts sometimes bump into each other in profound ways. But, best of all, I love that I can put everything on the line and no one ever knows even when it's right there in black and white.Comments Continue reading ...

My friend has another guerrilla art installation underway and I'm supposed to tuck these four rocks around Portland. Problem is, all I really want to do is keep them close.
While picking our rocks from the tray being passed around, I smartly told people not to name them. I then promptly named the square one in the back Thurmond.

The painting above has been in two magazines and is now part of an Apartment Therapy house tour. Click here to check it out. Comments Continue reading ...

 Stand for Equality is creating a video of people holding signs who support marriage equality. I created this painting before the law was repealed. If you'd like to play, you better get a wiggle on because the deadline is this Sunday (December 6). Comments Continue reading ...
