I’m at a sweet spot in my life; no longer caring for my parents, and they in fact generously left me a little money. I’m traveling and creating art like I’ve never done before. You see me here about to dive into the day-after-Thanksgiving meal that I brought to my sister and her family. I included a few healthy options but have decided to eat just roast chicken and carrot cake instead.

So now, reader, stay with me as I bring those 2 ideas together. I’m ready to create a book. I plan to use the images that have appeared in my previous posts, and to continue describing their relationship. There is a woman and a thicket of shapes and lines representing her issues and concerns.

In my work I look at small things. Everyday encounters - from a number of points of view, using a variety of materials. Specifically, I address questions like what the backstory behind decisions choices that we make? What’s the cost to benefit ratio?

So, back to the dinner table. Faced with a decision, I ate the unhealthy options. I even ate a delicious serving of apple crisp, made by my sister, after finishing the cake. At that moment I didn’t worry about sugar, calories, or eating the requisite number of greens. It was all delicious.
