A Cup of Kindness and Blogging in the New Year

A couple of bloggers have written about my work at the start of this New Year. I had an interview with artist Tricia Ratliff from Agile Arts Journal. Tricia captures useful and inspiring reference materials for art lovers on her blog.

She is particularly taken with The Incognito Project and my Awakening Series, which she ties together in an interesting way.


Tricia's own work is beautiful and her posts are informative, touching on many aspects of art: process, shows, work, history and interviews with other artists.

My daughter-in-law, writer Amy Leigh Strickland included me in her list of 11 People Who had a Great 2011.

Amy is an author, an education grad student, roleplayer, actress and derby girl. She had quite a year for herself, starting grad school and publishing her first book, Olympia Heights.

She also helped start our family publishing company, Matter Deep Publishing, and wrote a second book, the novella- Kissing Corpses, soon to be published.

Happy New Year, here's to an awesome 2012 and to dear friends everywhere!
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
