FALL 2022, and the next course is beginning...

I am so proud of myself for persevering through all kinds of obstacles this summer to "launch" the next Contemporary Oshi-e Basic Course into the world! Where will my next students be from? I wonder, as I make my final plans and refinements, whose lives I might be touching with the same joy I have found exploring this unusual art form?

I only offer this course twice a year, Spring and Fall. That way I have time to enjoy my life AND share what I do in equal measure. Turns out that was fortuitous, as the scope of issues I faced upgrading my home and land over the spring and summer has been just non-stop challenging. But, things appear to have calmed down. Soon I will have a new entry to my basement studio: the cut out area will soon have a versa-block retaining wall, and a NEW DOOR! Woo Hoo!

Although I am now 74, it feels like this project is a new beginning for me as well. I hope to invite folks to a few studio open houses before the snow flies, and maybe even have a few classes! That would be so great.

So, as you read this I want you to hear TWO important messages:

1. Creativity never stops,

and

2. You too, can do hard things.

Sending out my love to you. See you soon I hope!
