Opening Our Studios is invigorating!
Tuesday, October 18th, 2016
Every year during the second and third weekends of October over a hundred of Portland’s artists throw open their studio doors and invite the public into the spaces where art is made. Portland Open Studios is a juried event that Dennis and I both have been lucky enough to get into the last two years; two years […]

Thursday, September 8th, 2016
I came across this word recently and it so perfectly defines the way Dennis and I make our art! And don’t you think Coddiwomple is a better name for this blog than boring ol’ “News & Notes”? We hope you will enjoy browsing this blog where we share the many ways we coddiwomple through our lives […]

Doing that meant having access to every bit of the ceiling downstairs so there wasn’t much point in unpacking our studio […]
The Work of Selling Art
Tuesday, December 4th, 2012
Before we knew we had buyers for our home in the Applegate Valley we decided to go ahead with hiring a web designer to re-do the website I had been cobbling together for the last decade. It had begun to take on aspects of the Winchester House with stairways leading nowhere and doors opening to […]
We’ve moved!
Tuesday, December 4th, 2012
All that effort to sell our country home via the internet finally paid off in August when we were contacted by a young couple who had been living in Uganda for five years and were ready to bring their family back to the U.S. They saw the video tour of our property and after sending […]
