About

My husband saw a special spark in my photographs and called it ART.  I felt embarrassed.  He said that I frame my photos the way that he frames the world.  He called me an ARTist and I felt even more embarrassed.  He said that through the ART I create that he knew we saw the world the same way and should spend our lives together.  He really saw ME and has helped me to see ME too!  I would probably still be just another collector of dusty old memories without him, instead of trying to put my skills to good use.

I am excited about community development and strengthening the bonds between individuals until they can truly be viewed and understood as a collective, separate parts of a whole.  I believe that ART is the way!  By inspiring public pARTicipation, I know we can learn to relate to each other on a deeper level and share in more meaningful experiences.

THAT is what Artlandish Pursuits is about.  Through photos and essays, I’ll tell you stories of awesome local ARTists and personalities I meet, super sweet regional events that are happening, ponder the meaning of life, and share photos of the odd-ball kind of found ART that I live for.

I want to bring ART to the table every day and see what happens!
