James and Evelyn Whitehead received a notecard from a friend, and noticed my illustration on it. They thought the image would be perfect for the cover of their new book that was to be published by The Crossroad Publishing Company. I received my copy today.

My portrait of Romero, large in Lucerne

I'm pleased that Comundo in Lucerne, Switzerland, is using my image to celebrate their anniversary. More about this wonderful organization: www.comundo.org.

Thank you, Celebration, partner of many years.

A sign of the times....my last regular print client is folding. I'd been a contributor for almost 25 years. Celebration was a marvelous resource and I am sorry to see it go. The editors kindly invited me to choose a few of my favorite covers and write a reflection for the final issue. 

Playing with colors and textures

Making something beautiful from repurposed materials: deconstructed old sweaters, leftover bits of yarn. This one is for my daughter. Planning to do more and contemplating getting a loom of my own.

"The world will be saved by beauty...and what is more beautiful than love?"

This quote from Dorothy Day, which builds on a line by Dostoyevsky, appears on this necklace by Contemplative Rebellion , along with charm featuring my scratchboard drawing of a woman kneading dough. Of course I had to order one for myself, and I wear it often. Since my daughter modeled for the illustration, it's particularly close to my heart--literally and figuratively! Proceeds benefit homeless women.

Exciting graphic design project

My design the 2017 Annual Report for the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association . What a satisfying project, working with Brett Baunton's gorgeous photography and contributing to the important environmental mission of this fine group. Entire publication here . Working with this group is helping me feel more grounded in my new surroundings in northwestern Washington State.
