Who doesn’t love spooning? This week I’m ordering custom fabric swatches from Spoonflower. My photo designs are being transferred onto fabric in order to create custom pillow covers for an eco- friendly hair salon in Ashland Oregon. This coincides with the art exhibit I currently have at this location. *If you are not familiar with the amazing … Continue reading
‘Dreaming Hazel Dooney’ The show I participated in last month, Dreaming Hazel Dooney (via long distance) was a success. Here are some of the lovely details: Above is a picture of the framed piece at the show in the Latrobe Contemporary Gallery with artist Hazel Dooney. Yes it is tiny.

Celtic Rock group, Young Dubliners, played in Medford Oregon this week. I had the pleasure of attending, and shooting a bit of the show. (Uplifting and ferocious sound) Also got to relax at 4 daughters pub with the band afterwards.

(Except for low % of female photographers exhibiting perhaps…) If I were the jet setting International Art Model I aspire to be, I’d hop on Virgin Airlines fastest plane to Germany to see it.
