What does this have to do with a California artist? It could be called “California Artist Reads”. It could be that I want someone to fall in love with the reading rabbit of Salt & Light. Perhaps I just want to share a more complete picture of my life with you than just my art. [...]

This piece is called “Less Traveled”. I believe in taking the less traveled road, which is one of the reasons I am not on Facebook. I read blogs – art blogs, business blogs, marketing blogs, inspirational blogs, knitting blogs, humor blogs, travel blogs, writing blogs and art marketing blogs. The writers of these blogs are [...]
