Swing by our pop-up today in Willits Town Center for #smallbusinesssaturday and take advantage of our tote giveaway. This is a great (and much calmer) alternative to big box shopping. We are open today and Monday- Saturday through this month from 10am-6pm. Shop art, paper goods, craft kits, hostess presents, wrapping paper, innovative games, puzzles, scarves to name a few. And come by to see other valley artists’ creations as well. We are tucked in between @elkoritawillits and @kgenasianwillits. And a quick walk from @wholefoodsbasalt. And if you want to do something creative, come build your own notebook at our Notebook Bar with bookmaker Jennifer Roberts.

A detailed view of a work I painted in the wake of the Orlando massacre six years ago. The Club Q tragedy could have mirrored Orlando but for hero Richard Fierro who tackled the gunman and saved scores of people. Fierro is an ally of the first order. So am I. I couldn’t take a murderer down but I will, and do, fight hate and ignorance. That job belongs to everyone of us.

Locals and soon to be holiday locals! We are popping up in the Willits Town Center November 25-December 31. And it's not just us -- other artists are joining us and will be sharing that list shortly. We are next to El Korita, around the corner from Bristlecone, Bookbinders and, of course, near Whole Foods. We have stocking stuffers, gifts for every budget, art, prints, jewelry, journals, stationery, scarves, reusable gift boxes, wrapping paper homewares, wrap skirts --to name a few. Oh and we also have an enticing sale on some items. Swing by, have some coffee, bond with a studio dog or two. Thanks for shopping small and local!

Sometimes it gets crowded on the sofa. Rose thinks she’s petite and loves wedging her 85lb self next to @ted_maertens at staff meetings. And yes, that is her favorite ICS pillow. Ted is a patient man. Studio life is rarely dull.😂🐕

The burden of proof. When you’re making a print edition, you need proof. Or in my case., proofs. Sometimes it takes several passes to get the print right. Our art director @ted_maertens and I are thrilled with the results of our new color theory print series so no need to tweak. Getting the hue and saturation down takes a pro — thanks @singereditions —we love these! These will be ready in time for the holidays so dm us if you want your own.

Home again home again jiggety jig to the familiar rhythm of our own hearth and studio. This was a fast-paced (to put it mildly) but transformational work/exploration voyage. Day after day there was fresh wonder, inspiration, education and kindness. And exceptional indigenous cuisine. I wasn’t quite aware of how our toxic national political climate had distorted my global outlook. I felt without agency, have been overly judgmental and felt ineffectual. This trip to @wayqechabiologicalstation was a big reset for me and Daniel — more details to come in a blog post. In short, the scientists @ruthy_treesandbears (@insidenatgeo ) and @adrian.forsyth put us on a new path and we went to meet the first class of the newly minted Lovejoy Fellows — in honor of the late great pioneering scientist Tom Lovejoy. These young Peruvian women are on their way to becoming field scientists. Brava Susan Rodriguez @susanrodriguez.skrv, Norma Giovana @norma.giovana Sandra Garrido, Luz Sanchez @contraluzsm , Yessenia Chamba @yessenia.cf24 and thank you for your grace, hard work and good cheer. And a shout out to Ukuku who is using her keen nose to track the bear scat of the elusive Andean bear —a keystone species that will probably play a critical role informing us how the Amazon will adapt to climate change. I cannot wait to see what these amazing young women do next and to meet the next class of graduates. I am looking forward to 2023. Next post — @manunationalpark.
