I took a glass bead making class as a Girl Scout but it has been a while since I have worked with a torch, marver and glass.
I spent the last couple of months researching and preparing a residency application for the Corning Museum of Glass.
Fingers crossed…

There is opportunity to shift structural language when a person plays with unexpected materials without any expectations. My Emotional Baggage Carts are designed to draw you in and spark your curiosity. Not only to discover what materials are used to create these sculptures, but to look within, recognize and release the emotional baggage you may be carrying.
You are invited to work with me on an Emotional Baggage Cart in progress at Art 150, 150 Bay Street, Studio #231 on Friday September 9th from 6-9pm.
Enter Art150 at 1st Street and Provost St and ride the elevator to the second floor. Sudio #231.
Feel free to bring any recycled fibers or textiles to weave onto the cart. No experience necessary.
I am a foodie because of my mom ad Julia Child.
I grew up watching reruns of The French Chef, with my mom and tasting her culinary experiments. We use to spin the global and learn the recipes from wherever we landed. HBO Max’s series Julia Child has me reminiscing about the delicious aromas coming from my mom’s kitchen.
When the film, Julia and Julia came out, I bought Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol 1 and Vol 2 and have been working my way through both cookbooks ever since. Now McCarty has discovered the cookbooks and is trying a few recipes himself. Lucky me. `

I have not yet been to Donum Estate to taste their wine in Carneros, between the Napa and Sonoma valleys.
But now I must go… taste their wine in their new Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann—wine-tasting pavilion.
And then stick around to see their sculpture collection. They have an El Anatsui and Louise Bourgeois and 48 other works on display
