Hanging on, hanging in
Life has been filled with twists and turns lately. Mostly of my own making, but twists and turns abound. It’s enough instability and change to make me feel...
Clearing the Chaos
I have been retreating inward, partly due to the extreme cold temperatures in Minnesota, partly because of the exterior horrors of the world in which we must...
Dispatch from MN - Dreaming New Possible Trajectories
As most are aware, ICE has been out in full force in Minnesota the last few weeks. Targeting and deportations had begun in Minneapolis and St. Paul and...
A note for the not so distant future
Would it shock you to know sometimes I bang these out in one go? Probably not, for my close readers who see all the mistakes and the poor punctuation habits,...
Art of KCF 2025 Wrapped
The wrapped list as a concept may be getting a little old, but I’m still going to ride this train while it’s on the tracks. When I received in my inbox that...
On failure

Celebrating Little KCF
I always loved my birthday growing up - it felt so good to be the center of attention in my family. There was a joy in getting to pick the flavor of one’s...
I flew too close to the sun
Thankfully I was not wearing wax coated feather wings… and this is just an analogy for a overcommitted artist who is (as the kids say) crashing out. The last...
Material Mythos
Early in 2024 my friends at the Kaddatz Galleries asked me if I would be willing to think about a show in the main gallery again. The super kind and...
Busy as a Beaver
I am drawn to the phrases that bring animals into the mix. Our furry or feathered kin have so many lessons to teach us. Last week at the Pelican Rapids...
Baseball Zen
2025 marks the year I went from a casual baseball fan to a fanatic. I have always loved to watch baseball - even back in the days when the game was not on a...
Queso on the side
Coming at ya with a bit of a Freaky Friday salutation! The Artist at work I keep telling people I’m going to figure out this capacity and my eyes being...
Duty Days
As the days become noticeably shorter and the light of the sun begins hits our hemisphere differently based on our locations on this spinning rock, I am...
How was it for you?
I have finally made it through the fog of winter. It took me until August this year, which I think according to my Captain’s Log (of my hazy memory) is a new...
Join Me At Calendula Gallery Tonight!
I am so pleased to announce the debut of a new body of work called Queericana - a diary of sorts of my time in rural Otter Tail County. I have had a week of...
Two weeks away from my 2nd Solo Show in St. Paul

New Solo Show Coming Soon!
As promised, I’m back this week for more thoughts on my upcoming show Queericana that will open on August 1 at 6:00 at Calendula Gallery in St. Paul, MN. If...
New Solo Show on the Horizon
