I was at PQ Palms yesterday for brunch and I saw something that, if I had eaten my breakfast, I would have brought it right back up. This is not new to me, and I see it all the time at my children’s school, but yesterday morning it really disgusted me and I don’t know […]
Drink

I don’t drink. But funny enough, only now, at 40, do I feel the peer pressure to do it. I don’t want people to think I’m such a pill for not drinking. And I don’t want to not be invited anywhere because I don’t drink. So I’ve devised a plan. I will say that I’m […]
You & I Happen

When I draw in my sketchbooks, I rarely have a plan. This sketch is no different. I started with the red figure. Then the black figure happened and evoked a feeling in me of love and gratitude. I am thankful for my friend who I needed all of last week and who was there for […]

When I did this sketch, I wasn’t aware that it was drawn on the last sketchable page in this book, my second of the Sketchbook Twenty Ten books. So I was a little shocked when I felt the quality of the page, grainless and smooth. Plus I’ve always believed in the necessity of good-byes and […]
The Cuckoo Well

A few years ago I read the book Veronica Decides to Die by Paolo Coelho. There were many poignant parts but the story that stuck out the most, and that I still remember, was the allegory of the well. It summed up my existence in this mad desert. Every day gets more difficult for me […]
Mead Academie Sketch Diary

I bought this large 14 x 11 inch notebook from a stationary shop in New York in 2002. It’s perfect for pencil sketches but of course I like to use it with any writing or coloring tool I can get my hand on. I still have many blank pages left because I’ve decided to just […]
