I returned from three weeks away to the gorgeous catalogue published by American Women Artists for Of Mark & Meaning, a perfect start to International Women's History Month. Read about what's on my easel, Impressive Women, Venus Reclaimed, and why we all need a fresh start.

This little video is a fun way of sharing my progress this year and the state of my studio as we all head - tiptoeing - into 2026.

I recently sketched out two new paintings on 3-foot by 4-foot wood panels. Each one presents me with a challenge. "Temptation" is a 12-inch square painting that works out some of the details. I have never painted anyone eating before, but I so loved the look of bliss on her face.
