Hello from the Pottery Studio! October 16th is almost here! The Empty Bowl Event on St. Simons Island is happening at Glynn Visual Arts!! It is very exciting!

Ultimate Writing Music Playlist: Week 2
So it’s been awhile. But in my defense, I had another kid. And I’m tired. Plus, I’m still trying to work out all this being an artist/wife/parent/woman thing. Which makes me more tired. Needless to say, I’ve found some awesome writing music (again, this works for me–it may not for you). It’s an oldie, but…
Señor Tortuga in the Drawing Room
Hola Craig Art fans! This is the estupendo–the illustrious–Señor Tortuga. For those of you who don’t know me, I am the former pet of a generous Earl, who left his title and fortune to me upon his death, making me the first turtle of leisure. I’ve decided to take a break from my travels to…
Two Men Enter; One Man Leaves/Testify
It’s raining at the writing studio and today’s Monday was a real Monday. For a moment, I thought we were all going to descend into a post-apocalyptic thunderdome and, honestly, I didn’t have the will to stop it. But thankfully, a very good friend and fellow artist-mom was there to save me. We had a beautifully…
Review of Lewis Hyde’s “The Gift”

Back in the Pottery Studio

I am also starting my 4th year teaching at College of Coastal Georgia—Intro to Ceramics and Intermediate Ceramics. Love teaching there, too! I am also…
Ultimate Writing Playlist Challenge: Week 1
Well I’ve completed the 1st week of my Ultimate Writing Playlist Challenge. In keeping with the soundtracks I have already ruled out in the previous post, I decided to give my favorite movie a try, Last of the Mohicans. It’s an amazing movie filled with epic battles, soldiers, romance, adventure, and Native Americans, that is…
Hello from the Writing Studio!
It’s been awhile, but the Craig Art House Writing Studio is up an running! I’m currently looking out at the lake and trees and wildflowers, feeling blessed and excited that I have the opportunity to write in a place like this. Of course that also creates a bit of pressure to write something worthy of…
On the road again…
After just coming off some great success at the 2016 Jekyll Island Festival Exhibit with a 1st place and a 3rd place in the People category, I am getting ready for a weekend trip to Watkinsville, Georgia, for another exhibit. Beginning Friday, April 1, 2016, from 6 to 9 PM, the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation…
