I’m blessed to announce I’m officially renting studio space at Solar Arts Building, second-floor studio #205. I share this space with 3 other artists, and I am happy to have a home here at Solar!
This year I’m participating in Passports on Parade this weekend too! Check out the website for more details and how to get your passport- there is a limited amount so do not hesitate.
I call it a scavenger hunt for artists’ stamps in the passport. Why do this? Opportunities to learn about the artist and their visions, see great art, and win $500.00 credit to spend on ACW artwork! I know, AWESOME!
Side note:
My stamp is CheeBah approved! Who doesn’t love a Corgi??
Below are some samples you will see this weekend.

These two lovely works Golden Gate Bridge and Hill is alive with color (formal photoziacs) future home is with Common Bond’s new The Lumin facility at 830 Cretin Ave, Saint Paul, MN. This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Art to change the world, and I’m proud to be a task force member! I’ve seen so much positive social change since joining back in 2020. Below are the links to artwork for Common Bond and Art to change the world! Join if you feel compelled, do not need to be local or an artist we have a diverse group of members with backgrounds ranging from artists, business owners, and educators just to name a few.
I love projects like this one where everyone wins! I can’t wait to see the faces of these women who come here and see they are worthy of great art hanging on their living walls. I hope that some or all tenants find their creative gifts and will someday share them with the world. So let us keep sending out positive vibes and continue to encourage others that they are worthy of a great life!

Come check out my hybrid exhibition One last road trip leads to Sanctuary for the Soul. This Exhibition is a mix of my Photozaics framed art offered in color and infrared photographs images with a sprinkle of my black n white Infrared photos matted in black with simple black framing.
As we approach 1 million deaths from Covid in our country, we are all challenged with finding ways to process our grief. In 2019 I lost my father and decided to take his ashes on one last road trip. Or, at least, that was my plan, but I then decided to include him in every trip I’ve taken since. The photographs I am taking are my way of thanking him for giving me my eye for photography. Going on these road trips is a memorial to him in appreciation of the ever-changing landscapes. I went out into the world with an open but broken, heart looking to find peace in Mother Nature’s arms. I’ve found her to be a great place to recharge my soul in the past.
The viewer will be surrounded by nature photos with mosaics that will open them up to another plane of consciousness. The addition of mosaic frames will awaken your curiosity about what lies beyond the frame. Each viewer will have a different experience. This exhibition is a place for visitors to recharge their souls from daily stresses, sparking their senses and curiosity. As I create my photozaics I often lose myself in the process. The viewers of my work also find the details of the mosaic will draw them into the photo where they will find a sanctuary for their soul. I truly believe art heals the mind, body, and soul. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology discovered a definite correlation between participating in cultural activities, i.e. creating art, visiting art galleries, and attending concerts with increased rates of good health.
