About the Substack
I've been a pro artist for nearly 25 years, and I've learned a lot along the way. In Painting to See, I'll share what I've learned -- and since I'm still learning, you can expect to learn along with me! Also news on workshops, retreats and books.

Writing to See
I write to see--to understand. I write articles for magazines--mostly art magazines--but also essays, poetry and, of course, I keep a journal. And the occasional novel. Bear with me while I try to get a grip on the world through this Substack.
