Lots of exciting things happening:
• Over 500 artists responded to the Mission Hospital for Advanced Medicine Call for Artists - Celebrating Art and Culture project. A select few were chosen for the project, including my work. I am greatly honored to take part in the project and look forward to working with Mission Hospital.
• Three of my original artworks will be in the Idea Museum’s Roadside USA exhibition, from June 14 - September 8, 2019 in Mesa Arizona. Curated by Jeffory Morris, Museum Curator.
Deeply moved by natural earth forces, I started this series with a new approach to applying fluid paint to landscapes. It’s become more entrenched then that, with a look at the primordial forces beneath the mountains, trees and oceans. It’s a consideration of the fact that humans can’t control everything, but that we can affect the earth in a profound way.
Something that I need to add that sets this series and other recent work apart: I am determined to let nature and animals loosen me up. I was trained and had a career as a medical illustrator. Nothing could be more wonderful, but more constraining at the same time! I enjoyed the career but my own vision is working its way out, slowly but surely. The freedom is profound but terrifying at the same moment, but when it works, it works.
I was supposed to go to the launch but it got complicated with the timing and the dogs, so my husband went. It was wonderful to experience the launch vicariously and watch the launches video stream.
Good grief, the power, the sound, the blinding light. That hundreds of people would be there at 2 - something in the morning was just incredible. The flight will be manned in July; maybe I’ll try again.
From SpaceX:
”At 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, SpaceX launched Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight without crew on board the spacecraft is intended to demonstrate SpaceX’s capabilities to safely and reliably fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.”

There is a Manifesto of the earth, and then there is this, a manifesto for the most wonderful creatures of that earth. I’m starting with horses because I ride, except right now I have to have my third surgery on my left leg and can’t ride until the spring at the earliest. If that isn’t on the agenda, then painting my muses is the next best thing.
This series starts with some careful, controlled studies of the anatomy of the horse in a Renaissance style. The plan is to continue the studies, but add in a great deal of looseness and dynamic movement.
I have big plans. Many more animals. All in due time.
