Many of you have noticed that my website has been down

for a few months now (long sad story).

I am happy to announce that I have a new website domain name:

Please stop by and pay me a visit!

Happy Fall!

More Owls!

These owl "scare crows" will be for sale next week

at SEASONS on St. Croix Gallery

Tis the season for owls again!

I've been away for awhile...

As you can see, I've been goofing off a bit this summer

and my website has been down for over a (gasp) month!

I hope to have it up and running again soon.

In the meantime, I have been preparing for a show

at Cafe Latte in Saint Paul, MN that will open in mid October.
