Chairs

In my Grandma’s living room sat a huge, overstuffed, well-worn and faded, red chair.  It could easily hold Grandma and me or me and a couple of cousins.  In this chair books were read, crossword puzzles were tackled, “As the World Turns” was viewed, and children were comforted.  That “cushy” chair, I am sure, was the beginning of my love affair with chairs– one of the most poetic pieces of furniture.   Their design possibilities are endless, their purpose clear and usefulness assured.

Take a look at this terrific red chair.  Definitely not quite the “snuggle-up” chair like Grandma’s, but it does seem to be a good place for the occupant to do a bit of dreaming.

I would love to hear about your favorite chair (or equally special memory).  Better yet–send a photo!

Open Studio in Santa Cruz County — Coming Soon

Today I’m helping to prepare Open Studio Calendars and Maps for delivery to the various outlets.  What a terrifically well-run organization.  I am honored to be one of the artists featured in this event.  My postcards are ready for mailing.  If you don’t receive one, it just means I don’t have your address.  Please email me with your information so that I can personally invite you to events.  And stop by my studio to say “hello” on the second or third weekends of October.
