March 24th: Hope your Easter was the best. I'm working on Open Studio's for the end of April (last weekend) and applying for shows in May & June. My folks noticed one of my Necklaces on a newscaster for Channel 8 (ABC). I contacted the gallery that I had consigned it to and waa laa- IT IS MY DESIGN ! Pretty cool huh! March 16th: The Oakland Museum show is off to a grand start. Hope you can get to it. All is well here, with lots of new designs on my sketch pad for this spring and summer. With the silver market going crazily high- prices will be reflected.. I wish it wasn't so.... Happy St. Patty's day tommorrow!

January 29th: I archived last years news to make room for more :-). 2008 has been a great start for this year. The Oakland Museum show will be in Feb. and San Benito Open Studios - APRIL 26 & 27. I'll be adding more shows- the entries are out... I'm awaiting the Juror's answer.

I hope to see you soon.

It is good to have an END to a journey: but it is the journey that matters, in the END. Ursula k. Le Guin
"It's not what you are that holds you back; it's what you think you are not". by:Denis Waitley
"Be the Change you Wish to See in the World". gandhi From what we get, we make a living; what we give however; makes a life.
This quote will make you want to hug your kids,
grandkids, and all the kids you love.... "What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give." P.D. James
I heard this quote on "survivor" - Yes, I like that goofy show:
Love Many, Do Harm to None....Trust Few.
"If you love rainbows.... you have to put up with the rain".
Dolly Parton
(from a youth hostel wall in India)
"Youth isn't a time of life, it's a state of mind. (It's) a
predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure
over the love of ease. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may
wrinkle one's skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles one's soul
! As long as one's heart receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, courage and power from others and the infinite, so long one is
young. When one's spirit is covered by the snows of cynicism and the
ice of pessimism, then one has grown old."
