Two barns.  This summer, I spent time working in two different barns and report on them for the ArtSake blog of the Mass Cultural Council.

I am ever so grateful to Norte Maar and The Trustees of Reservations for awarding me these residencies.

Thrilled to be supporting the work of Sister Inmate by donating a mono print to their auction which started today October 23rd.  Artist Caitlin Parker organized the auction with artists donating works on paper and workshops.

Sister Inmates’s all volunteer staff is dedicated to supporting incarcerated individuals and their families.  The auction proceeds will help provide books for their Spiritual Based Book club; to buy Holiday Gift Bags distributed to all women incarcerated in L.A. (things like toothpaste and tea); and to print materials for their emotional support and life skills workshop.   

Auction continues until October 27th at 7pm. Peruse the artwork donated by artists and support Sister Inmate.https://www.32auctions.com/sisterinmate

Gathering materials for my week working in the Barn during my residency.

Naumkeag’s Blue Steps designed by landscape architect Fletcher Steele.

During my Naumkeag residency, I will explore the gardens, observing flora and fauna – the freshly blooming sunflowers, the mint filled with feasting honeybees, the spider weaving its web among the apple twigs. These findings and sitings will become marks on paper and cloth, using plant matter from Naumkeag as a dye base.

“There were several pleasure parties of which I was a member, and in our rambles we found many and many beautiful children of Spring, which I will mention and see if you have found them–trailing arbutus, adder’s tongue, yellow violets, liver leaf, bloodroot and many other small flowers.” [Emily Dickinson 1848 letter to a friend]

2018 marks my third year of giving Spring Wildflower (ephemeral) walks at Bartholomew’s Cobble, a National Natural Landmark and a Trustees of Reservations property. The Wildflower Festival runs from April 21 until May 13th with tours every Saturday and Sunday at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, & 3pm.
