I have installed all of the artwork I have been creating over the last year at Plum Elements Gallery in Charleston South Carolina. As I put on my “public face”…
Laura, This photo was taken in my Mom’s garden. You had mentioned that it had been awhile since being in your own garden. Your gardening reminds me of how much…
Hi Tina~ I was thinking about how you wrote about the sun behind the clouds in your last Vision and chose this image of this tree. I often looked at…
Dear Tina- While working on the book I felt the hopeful wishes you have for your children. You are always ever present in their worlds and reflecting, which reminds me…
Tina~ This is my very first photoshop merge! Aren’t you proud of me?!? The staircase image was taken in Aruba and reminded me of our journey together, wondering where it…
After a long 3,000 mile road trip with the family (as I write that it sounds like a nightmare, but it was actually a great time!) I am back in…
These are part of a series of miniature paintings I have been working on and am really feverish about. They measure 3” x 4” and were created with acrylic paint…
Tina will be on a much needed vacation for the next “two” weeks so we will be taking a hiatus from our Vision/Revision collaboration during this time. New updates should be expected…

Hi Tina,
Your Vision post of the bread and soup reminded me of the warmth and comfort of a handmade quilt on a chilly day. The time we spend sharing the seemingly ordinary things are often the most extraordinary. As I was working I thought about crazy quilt patterns and the random, fragmentation of life. xoL
Hello Sweet T, The book arrived with much excitement as always, yet my attention was directed toward the final touches I was putting towards my art show. Only now do…

I was listening to a podcast put out by “To The Best of Our Knowledge” by Public Radio International and thought of you. It is titled “Sense of Place” http://www.wpr.org/book/090524A.cfm…
I have thought a lot about our collaborative work in the last few days. Questions emerged from this thought regarding what this new format means to us as artists. How…
I received our collaborative book today and feel that our visual conversation is really exciting. How two different artists can speak to each other through art materials is not only…
I wanted to quickly post the pictures I told you I would and then write a response to your two previous posts tomorrow. Aidan’s baseball game was the event of…
I loved what you wrote in the last entry of our book. Yes, you are right in noting how the birds have maintained a subconcious presence in our imagery for…
About a week ago I was journaling about how good it felt to be on a roll in the studio. Everything on this particular day flowed effortlessly and I felt…

The teaching residency I just returned from at the Holderness School in NH gave me a wonderful opportunity to listen. I was honored to be a part of what is…
I added the nest today to my box titled “Invent”. Just wanted to share a pic. The nest was made by two Carolina Wrens one day outside my kitchen window. …
As agreed on the phone the other day, we will set an intention for this coming week (and perhaps in the weeks to come we will post new weekly intentions…we…
I could not agree more about fostering positive alliances among artists. Not only has this made a difference with each other and our collabortive work together, but I also have…
On Thursday I went to a panel discussion of four artists, at the Lyme Art Association. They were all landscape painters and as I had questioned in grad school why…
These are a few pictures of what I am working on today. I completed the piece with the box on the panel I have photographed up close, but need a…

Hi T~ I just got back from a great exhibit at the Alexy Von Schlippe gallery http://www.averypointarts.uconn.edu/NOTICES.HTML. This gallery is on the University of Connecticut at Avery Point, right along the water. I have…
I will write more tomorrow about your post, but wanted to write the quote from Brian Andreas (the story person hanging in my kitchen) “There are things you do because…
Dear Tina~ Daniel Pink has moved me as well. I feel a new sense of optimism and excitement about the future thinking about what he calls, “The Conceptual Age”. The…
A must-see movie for all artists (and non-artists)!
Dear Laura, Daniel Pink has moved me to think of the future very differently. I have a lot to say about the beginning of the book, but let me share a…
Here we go! Let’s match this blog with the collaborative work we have been doing the past two years. I am excited to get the conversation started! Tina
