The chokecherry is a symbol of Wyoming as well as the US for its qualities of resilience and community.

May is Historic Preservation Month , and in honor of the occasion, I would like to post about the Cheyenne pump house. As a member of Historic Cheyenne Inc. , a non-profit organization dedicated to educating citizens about historic structures and sites within our community, I created a "sizzle reel," as I sometimes refer to it, about the history of the pump house. I titled it Pump House Hero and sent it to city council, the mayor, and various other local organizations. T

In honor of Women's History Month, The Cheyenne Creativity Center  is showcasing the art of local artists in a show titled, Silhouette: Women in Art and as Artists . As a representation of my artistic journey so far, I chose a self portrait that I painted 22 years ago. It was an assignment for an oil painting class during my junior year at CSU. The requirements involved using a palette knife in the construction of a self portrait. Up until this point, I had some experienc

I remember standing in front of my first tarot deck. It was facing me on a shelf in a gift shop in the Casper, Wyoming mall. I was fifteen and had no money on me. We did not live in Casper so I knew I wouldn't get a chance to come back and buy it. I asked my sister to buy it for me and am so grateful that she did. Some years later, I learned that there is a superstition in the tarot community: one should not buy their own deck, rather, it should come to them as a gift.

Artists are often asked to make real the vision of another; and for their efforts in this task, the artist should be compensated. Sometimes however, the client/group/organization requests that the artist first create and present a "sketch" or mini-version of the finished product. This is in an effort to determine whether or not to go forward with the design. Herein lies a gray area where many artists are not paid for their services. In the last few years, I have b
