a kid in a candy shop

 I made these mini art GOODIE BAGS for my friend Chapman and her party guests.
Loaded with fold over cards, tissue and colored papers,
 sequins, krinkle paper and beads.  I topped them off with
 colored pencils, striped pipe cleaners and a glue stick.
                                                            Happy Birthday Hootie  xo

good goods


                                      My sweet friend Ali came to visit me at the studio last week.
She instantly pulled out this new toy she knew I'd be nuts about...
and boy was she right on. 
She picked up this  POP phone handset at the MFA..  
So fun and cool, it comes in a variety of colors and fits all mobile devices. 
 I love these blurry shots I took of Ali because we could not stop laughing.
She loves the reactions she's been getting from folks who see her in passing.
Classic. Thanks Ali, I needed that.  xo

work.place

 MAYBE  it's because I have my ear on all things PORTLAND,
AND I have this passion for seeing artists in their work places.
This is truly a great concept ... I say bravo and thank you!






work.place is a documentary of Portland, Ore. 
creativity facilitated by local photographer, Carlie Armstrong
The aim of work.place is to understand creative processes and the places that contain them.
We also hope to inform - by displaying the work of some of the

most talented artists, musicians, designers, and craftspeople in this great city. 
much MORE here

ps. andrew and lisa check them out!
