What I’m doing now

Updated October 17, 2024 from my home in Ojai, CA

Latest Collage Work

I created these two collages for Contemporary Collage Magazine’s October 10 Layers Challenge. So fun!

Learning RISO Printing

I’ve been wanting to experiment with RISO for a long time. Recently, I got to take an Intro to Riso Workshop with Bird in Hand Press in Santa Barbara. I loved it and I’m so excited to learn more!

Being a Band Mom

I bet you thought I meant marching band. If you know me, you know I meant Rock Band! My daughter is part of an amazing program called Teen Band Collective through Burch Studios in Ventura. Her band, Purely Grey, plays “happy metal”. It’s not really metal though. Metal is the vibe. They play rock and watching them is pure joy. Come catch them at Deer Lodge on October 20.

Reading, Always Reading

My current list of books, because I’m always reading more than one at a time is:

Faith, Hope and Carnage - Nick Cave

All Fours - Miranda July

Practical Optimism - Sue Varma, MD

Building Creative Community

Ojai Creatives is a group I started in town. The vision is to connect local creatives to each other and to opportunity. I love partnering with generous businesses in town like Shelter Social Club. Next Meetup is Thursday, October 24 @ Chief’s Peak w/ special guest, Michelle Pineiro, who is running for Ojai Mayor.
