A Piece Of Me...

I was born in the second half of the 1900’s, possibly descended of "Scottish Tinkers" (still finding this), Tetched with Megalomania, Decidedly Hetro and an emerging Crone!

Winter, Blue, Spiritual, Empathic, Artist, Artisan, Wordist, Herbalist and a Stone Caster!

Now then, for good measure I’ll throw in ADD, Bi-Polar, OCD and a bit plain ole NUTZ….. J I refer to this as having numerous "Cats In My Attic", which means I still have control...otherwise they would just be "Bats In My Belfry"! : )

Most of my time, these days, is spent dealing with a semi-bizarre condition, "Arachnoiditis w/Myoclonic Dystonia"! Such is life after a fairly severe (ACDF C4-7) spinal incident. I am so grateful to no longer be paralyzed after successful surgery, that I try not to whine about the “Chump Change”! I’m sure any Quadriplegic out there would gladly accept the sacrifice for the freedom of Mobility!

Keep Local Talent "MOOoving" And That's No "Bull"!

I love it when Local Artists Break out and do something so Clever and Lively!

This local young talent Artist Kong Souriyavong has been busy on several projects around town and is really putting out some 'Moooving" work!  HAHAHA!  I hope to see even more of his good works soon, I believe he is also doing a Mural at the Anderson Teen Center as well!


So, I can't wait to catch him in action soon and see what else he has working!
Remember, Keep It Local!

Great Music, Shamrock Style Pulled Pork & A Little Rain!

What a great way to finish of a wonderful day here in Redding, on a slightly rainy day, enjoying the fine offerings of being out and about in Redding !  I started out at the The Annual Redding Whole Earth And Watershed Celebration, but made it a point to finish off my Day-trip over at the Shamrock Cafe,  where my friend Mark Loring was rocking the Block lining up some fine Music and attracting the crowds where he was plying some really Awesome BBQ Tri-Tip and Pulled Pork!


Wow!  I barely caught a glimpse of Feral Farm,

but you know they were a real crowd pleaser, they have a history!  I don't know who let Cirtus wear a Security Shirt, what were they thinking? LOL! :)  I also caught some more groovy tunes that ended out with a group called Magic Bus!  Yay!



Mark has it going on now setting up his BBQ, even going to be out at the Harlot Show in Anderson coming up in May near my neck-o-the woods!!  I know he has been busy and working hard, so I am glad to see he is going strong!

Studio Smells Like Paint!

I can't help it!  Even though I still don't have any "official" place for things to dry I had to paint SOMETHING!!  HaHaHA!  I only put down a couple of colors...it won't take much for that layer to dry!  :)

Sunshine Driving Me To Start Slinging Something

Around in the Studio that is!  I have about 4 Canvases that are just itching for a start!  I lost my drying rack over the Winter, so now I am going to have to wing it until I can go get me another!  Plus, coming soon is the Pecha Kucha Night!  I am already working on my presentation and I am nervous but it should be a Blast!

Sundial Film Festival Had A Big "Breakdown"!

At least that was the Film that took #1 for the Night!  LOL!  It was a rousing hand of applause when things went "Splat" for the Lady(?) of the film!!  Josh McHale of L.A. took home the Big Prize!! :)
Apparently we are still awaiting the People's Choice Award Tally, so keep in touch here... Sundial Film Festival

There were numerous faces I recognized, although I could not get through the Sea Of People to touch bases with most of them!  Yay!  That is a Great thing to see Soooo many people out having a blast involved with the Arts in Redding!

But... what an awesome time we had out and about at the Festival!  I got to see Jeff Loveness again!  I have been following him since the First SFF when he won for his short called "Profiles Are Lovely"! What a doll he is... his (2011) short film "Contact" was very thought provoking and another Classic! Now that he is officially a Grad from Pepperdine University I can't wait to see him fly!!  :)
