What it is
There are two things in my life that have been constant, no matter what: art and the need for unstructured time to play.
I am a compulsive maker-of-things who believes that every day must have some time set aside to feed the creative spirit. This would include making art, looking at art, reading about art, experimenting/playing with materials, learning new skills, and general studio art-play.
To support my habit and spread the joy, I was an art educator for 38 years. I'm now retired from public education, but still enjoy teaching occasional workshops locally.
I will try to share some of my adventures in both art and play here in this space.

Heheh, that's perfect for Halloween! Hope you had a good one. :)
Dear Ann,
My name is Justin Gordon and I'm an 18 year old high school student. About two months ago I stumbled upon this picture and it inspired a "curiosity" themed book of poetry and short stories I'm writing for a college scholarship project. I'm printing and hand binding the book myself and would be thrilled if you allowed me to use this picture as the cover art! I will of course cite you in my essay explaining the book and give you full credit for the piece. Please respond as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Justin Gordon
Hi Justin,
Thanks for asking.
You may use a copy of the picture as long as you give me full credit for the artwork.
Let me know how it goes, and good luck.
