Updating
I think I have become addicted to herbal tea and Big Red gum. I know this by the time spent looking online at caffeine-free green tea options as well as the three wrappers of gum on my desk. After battling annoying allergies for a few days I thought, “I want to drink tea”. It just [...]
Like a Cat in Water
I did it! I walked to the bus stop near my house (only about 1/2 mile). Took a bus to the MetroRail and then boarded the train. Austinites have complained about the rail not being used, but it was packed! I’m guessing it’s not really utilized as much for times other than getting to and [...]
Last Kind Words
The moon has been amazingly awesome the past few days and nights. One morning I woke up and headed to work to find the moon huge! I couldn’t believe it, a full yellow moon in a deep blue sky. It was breathtaking and beautiful. I’ve seen it almost every night and morning, full and now [...]
Painting: Hold on Me
Painting: Reaching
Painting: Reaching – Acrylic on 16″ x 20″ panel – 2012 The glare on the top of this image bothers me, but after several photo shoots (at different times of the day) I have given up.

Twenty one photographers were picked to be featured, including my great friend Jennifer Litterer! The opening was packed and it stayed that way all night. I was happy to see such a big group as well [...]
Rollergirl/Artist
A photographer came through Austin to photograph some rollergirls. From what I understood, the goal was to capture a rollergirls personality through the image. So we were asked to bring something (if anything) that portrays who we are. I brought a painting. I didn’t mean to look so sad… The photographer is Kyle Cassidy. Hopefully, [...]
2011 – Reflection and Recap
I didn’t really recap 2011…probably because 2011 seemed a much more difficult year than 2010. I guess you have to get through some tough times… I can tell you one thing. I never imagined I’d be watching an amazing thunderstorm outside my sliding glass door, playing the banjo as the lightning flashes. My tortoise shell [...]
