I painted this piece decades ago for my nephews when they were little. They were obsessed with baseball and hockey—so I imagined a world where fish swam through sports instead of bubbles. Why not chase baseballs and dodge hockey pucks in an underwater playground? I think the boys agreed. They enriched the fantasy I explored and included in my work yesterday, and I still see the influence today. I am grateful for the inspiration I have found on the journey.

This painting still makes me smile. It’s playful, a little surreal, and a reminder of how art can capture the joy of childhood in the quirkiest of ways.

Last night, my daughter Emily Clark lit up the stage at Whole Hearted Winery with her stand-up comedy—and she was hilarious. Watching her own the mic with confidence, wit, and heart reminded me of how creativity flows through us in such beautifully different forms.

While I express my voice through paint, paper, and reclaimed materials, she speaks her truth through laughter and timing. Two paths, same spirit. We both chase meaning, connection, and a little magic—one punchline or brushstroke at a time.

Mindful of how creativity runs deep in this family. And last night, I was the proudest artist in the room.

The room was filled with many wonderful and creative comedians. The food was great and the wine was fabulous. Thank you, Whole Hearted Winery, for hosting this event. Grateful that I took the short journey to this new place to enjoy family, food, and fun.

Recently spent the day at the Midland Antique Festival, and what a journey it was—from curiosity to connection, from forgotten relics to found treasures.

This photo captures a quiet moment in the middle of the vibrant chaos. I’m holding a handmade cloth doll that instantly spoke to me—something about her presence felt rooted in history, in stories passed down. Around me: vintage maps, weathered books, glass bottles, and the hum of people chasing nostalgia.

Every booth was a portal. Every item had a past. And the journey wasn’t just about what I brought home—it was about what I felt, what I remembered, and what I reimagined.

Two new large-scale abstracts are finally complete. Red, white, and gold move through deep, dark backgrounds like meteors streaking across the night sky. These pieces feel like space itself—chaotic, calm, infinite: a journey through time and space.

Let me know what you see in them.

Yep. Hair done. Giant painting: not so much. Thanks to Thomas James Salon and Tom and Nadine (in spirit): for making me glam, for but a moment! Worth the journey to Thomas James Salon if you have "hairmergency" like me!

At the Midland antique festival, collecting all kinds of unique findings for my assemblage works. Absolutely loved my day with friends and friendly people who love unique finds, creativity, and beauty. I will definitely do this again next year! 100% worth the journey!

Took a journey to visit some loved ones lost. Came across this beautiful creation and was touched. Creativity is everywhere we go on our journey. It heals, encourages, and inspires.

Come and see South Haven Center for the Arts' Exhibition: Water Ways: Reflect and Connect! Artists were able to interpret this theme in whatever way they chose, in any medium. The exhibition will be on display May 10 through June 14. My two mono prints, ("Basking in the Balance" and "Waiting for Rain") will be among the many creative interpretations on display at "Waterways." South Haven Center for the Arts and Southhaven Mich make for a creative and vibrant town that pair for the perfect day or weekend trip destination. Mindful of how art brings people and communities together. Take a journey. Come and be inspired!

"Octi Eye" just arrived at the (Indiana University Kokomo Art Gallery) for the "Uncanny Exhibition." "Octi Eye" has only one eye, so his view of "Uncanny" will be limited: unless someone gives his lazy Susan a spin from time to time! This exhibit opens on June 4th and ends on June 25th, 2025. If you are able to take the journey to this fabulous gallery, tell "Octi Eye" I said, "Hi!" If you give him a wink, perhaps you will get one in return! Ask the exhibition staff if you can give "Octi" a spin!
