About Me
I’m a native New Mexican, raised in the rural tradition of the small village of Corrales, north of Albuquerque. My husband, Ken, and I live on a tiny subsistence farm in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, east of Albuquerque and south of Santa Fe. Together we strive to live more simply, separated from the intensity of city life, deliberate in our intent to remove ourselves from dependency on corporate America. This is not always easy; the work is difficult and time-consuming, but always rewarding. We recognize our total dependence on the provisions of our Creator. All that we have is a gift from God. The myriad daily chores that keep me close to the earth are a constant reminder of that dependence. This Blog is a way of sharing my life and my art, which are so woven together I cannot separate them. In the summer time, I barely have time to sketch, let alone actually sit down to squeeze out some oils. With the fall comes more time to pursue the pleasure that is my art, until springtime comes and the cycle renews itself. I’ll share it all, in oils, drawings and photographs, with the hope that you’ll find our little “alternate universe” something a little out of the ordinary…
