Three and one-half years ago, my life as a fine artist and educator had been one of contribution, fun and freedom. Plants and the environment had always been a passion. Recycling and buying the most planet-friendly supplies for my home and studio were "regular" actions. Supporting environmental organizations was always part of my budget. Over time, I became restless and it became more and more important that I use my artistic skills to help "heal the earth." Air and soil … [Read more...]

In the 17th century, it was commonly held that the earth was the center of the universe, and that the sun and heavens moved around it. Near … [Read more...]

Eight months ago, being here wasn't even a seed in one of my most meandering thoughts. Prisons were ugly, scary, dangerous places that had nothing to do with a white … [Read more...]
