How it is


2 years ago I learned I have Parkinson's. Gradually lost the ability to sew.
My right arm/hand remains steady but without much grace in painting.
Still, I'm able to paint in a folk way and connect with mother earth.


Many of the forms which came up in my studies with Jude Hill
are still in my mind's eye and pop up in paint.
Painting keeps me smiling and hopeful these days.

  2. Your paintings are delightful! Remind me a bit of Katherine Dunn of Apifera Farm, I love the simple folkiness of them. I wondered why you had stopped blogging, now I understand. Glad you are persevering and not letting the big P stop you entirely.
