Weekly 5: March 28th 2025

Weekly 5 is a round-up the past week’s creative news, discoveries, and happenings in my world!

Best thing that happened in my world this week:

Last week the calendar deemed it was Spring, but it’s not official in our house until Hogla has emerged. She was late coming out of hibernation this year; but, alas, she is alive and well. For anyone new, she has been my longest-tenured sidekick for nearly 38 years! She’s the coolest pet rock ever, and also senior level studio management. What she says, goes. Welcome to 2025, sassy old gal!

Artist discovery: Mark Yeates

I love surface, textures and layers and I have with a strong leaning toward printmaking, collage, painting and drawing techniques. Often I will combine some or all of these in mixed media which offers so much freedom to play and discover.
