From the series, I Can See My House From Here, 8"x8"



Cabin, 30"x 30" Detail, Cabin

I thought I would post some of my recent, post thesis work. It has been a lot harder to make work then I expected, I have to be much more self disciplined. I have a show coming up in Kentucky later in September and I am applying for shows for the coming year, to keep me making art! Hope you like them.

I don't even have to try!

For much of my adult life, I have looked up to, admired and wanted to be exactly like one special person. Even when this person was scrutinized and imprisoned, I stood by with admiration and hopes that one day I would be just like her...Thats right, I'm talking about Martha!
I faithfully cook her fancy feasts, even going out of my way to find her crazy obscure ingredients, in attempts to become like Martha. I pay attention to detail in my home decor and try to surround myself with fresh flowers. I work tirelessly in my garden, carefully cultivating and nurturing it, for Martha's sake! Well you can imagine my delight when my sister sent me a link to Martha's web site, in which I discovered i don't even have to try anymore! Me and Martha are basically one in the same!

Allow me to explain. Exhibit A
These are Martha's very own cats!
Now, exhibit B
Thats right! That is Milo, and that picture was taken well over a year before I discovered Martha also painstakingly prepared birthday cake for her cat! And i have to say, I think my cake is even more creative then hers! My sister Emily disagrees and even so rudely called my cake "disgusting". Any way! The point is, Great Minds Think Alike! Or Me and Martha are both Crazy?!!! ha ha ha
