Sometimes I get caught by the Shoulds. As you probably know, besides being an avid sculptor and painter, I’ve also been a Peak Performance coach for many years. When covid hit, I put everything on the back burner and hibernated for 2 months. Then this little Voice in my mind popped up, saying, “You should […]

SAFE
Testimonials are so cool to get – check this one out for this little happy bears painting I did, “Safe,” for my friend, the terrific Florida scenes painter, Linda Blondheim. “I asked Angela to do a painting for my granddaughter’s nursery. She did a painting in pastels, and even happily made a small adjustment for […]
MOON GODDESS
I keep getting these kind of allegorical images in my dreams. They look like they ought to be part of some huge mural somewhere. I like that they have these lines of energy running through them – I’ve never painted that before. I see the lines, but have never depicted them. If you look through […]
MIRROR, MIRROR…
I did a few sketches while I was on the phone with a friend a few days ago. They were all of silly gators having fun one way or another. I liked the idea of this one – “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the prettiest gator of them all….” Yeah, I know – I’m […]
STRANGE PLANET
Recently, as we spoke on the phone, a non-artist friend asked me where I get my ideas from. I told him, from photos I’ve taken, from nature, from words I hear that give me a feeling and an image, from memories, from dreams – Then he asked, what would you see, first thing, if you […]
HAENA BEACH
I lived on the Hawaiian island of Kauai for several years, on the other side of the island from this lovely beach. We used to go there once in a while to picnic. It took us an hour to drive there, but was so worth going. I often wonder what it looks like now, as […]
EMERGING
For the first two covid months of lockdown, I felt like I was drowning – in too much grogginess, too much where’s the money, too much confusion, anger and fear. I decided things had to change in a big way. A dear friend was kind enough to give me some real feedback: that I was […]
SAN BLAS 2, 3 and 4
I have really enjoyed playing with my new sets of pastels! Here are 3 more images of the beach at San Blas. My favorite is #4.
SAN BLAS 1
In 2006, I visited the tiny town of San Blas, Mexico. One of the first things I noticed was the number of pickup trucks driving around, 3 or 4 soldiers in the back, 2 in front – with submachine guns, dark glasses, camouflage uniforms and all. Kinda freaked me out – I’m not accustomed to […]
SURELY, FISH KNOWS THE WAY
I’m not an adherent of any recognizable religion – my folks never went to church, so I never got the classic religious conditioning many kids did in the 50s when I grew up. But I did have a few pretty traumatizing events happen in my teens that made me keenly aware of my mortality. By […]
THE BALANCE
The Balance is the 2-ton piece I carved at the Oamaru International Limestone Sculpture Symposium I was invited to participate in when I was Artist-in-Residence in Gore, New Zealand. I felt so fortunate to be a part of that symposium! Me, a little 55-year old funky sculptor from the US – whoddathunkit! But choose me […]
LIFE
When I was in Gore, New Zealand in 2000-2 as Artist-in-Residence, I painted around 50 paintings. Because I had thought of myself as primarily a stone sculptor, I was surprised to see so many of them just flowing right out of my hands! Someone asked me where I got inspiration for them all. There are […]
OUTRIGGER
Today I wrote my postman a note on one of my art postcards that has this painting on it. He’s been a continuing pain in the butt – leaving my mail half sticking in and out of the slot, allowing it to get rained on, not knocking on the door as I asked him to […]
The BIG Life Turnaround
092718- UPDATE: It’s been quite a process, settling in to my new abode. When I left Hawaii, I gave away, sold or threw away almost everything I had. I stashed a good bit in storage – mostly artwork – but let go of more things than I knew I had. It surprised me how much […]
Got A Place!
UPDATE: SEPT 10, 2018: Found a place! It’s not The Ideal Be-All-End-All, but that’s OK – it’s a place I can hunker down and start getting back in the mood of Making. It’s right near my old buddies, and is in a little community of apartments in a nice neighborhood. Now I can relax a […]
