HAPPY NEW YEAR! Though wishing, hoping, praying are somewhat antagonistic terms in our "can do" culture ... we wish you a wonderful year ahead, filled with challenge, good cheer, amor fati (love of your fate), work with passion, reasonable health, prosperity, and an openness that graces the world.

Mr. Mickey and I are going to be overhauling this web site. Primary will be re-doing all the images of art work so that they can be viewed on your smartphones. Also, the galleries are being re-arranged and pared down. Look for some special offers on originals.
MSR's State of the Art, Jan-Feb 2015, Vol. II, Issue 1, is ready for distribution. If you are not already on the newsletter list and want to be included, please use the contact form.

When I was a child, it was our custom to play word games on family road trips. One game was “I see something beginning with the letter ___.” A typical exchange might involve the letter “C,” for cow, Chevrolet, or California license plate, the rest of us guessing what that person saw. One time it was my turn and I said, “I see something beginning with the letter “M.” Miles later, my sisters and parents were past frustration. Nobody could guess what I was seeing. I, the youngest, announced, “Midair!”
Despite obvious retaliation from that encounter, the unseen continues its attraction. Today it finds expression in abstract art for its capacity to delineate those un-nameable emotions and experiences. I explore color, form, texture and composition to give physical life to the abstract. Color is used as a primary element second only to compositional forces.
Road trips take many forms. My art offers several routes.
