Craftsman Detail for a Modern Ranch One of the reasons that I fell in love with my little ranch house about 15 years ago was that fact that it sat nestled among trees including four gigantic pines. They had stood here long before the neighborhood came into being and gave our modern house a quaint cottage…
Thank you to everyone who made my first solo show a success! Putting on Curiosities at Grin Gallery was a huge learning experience that stretched my comfort zone, but I am so happy that I did it. While the show is over, I still have a few pieces up in the gallery. As much as…
