The Year Comes to a Close

I sometimes feel like time is passing more quickly at every turn. I have some anxiety about 2024, and have started a whole new series of protective objects called Her Armory. Sneak peek below. Next week I will be sending two sets of Amulet Bundles to the Dairy Barn in Athens OH, for OH+5, a regional exhibit. I am also readying about 10 -12 pieces for She Said, a three woman exhibit with my friends Laurie Rousseau and Liz Roetzel at the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph, MI running from January 19 through February 25.

2023 Books of the Year

I have read a lot of books this year and want to lift up a few I really enjoyed: Demon Copperhead, by Barbara Kingsolver; Horse, by Geraldine Brooks; The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride; The Break, by Katherena Vernette; Tom Lake, by Ann Patchett; North Woods, by Daniel Mason and The City of Thieves, by David Benioff.
