I’ve spent thirty years refusing to pick a lane. Help me make that the winning move.

What if an artist who refuses to be a factory could win $25,000 purely on the strength of the integrity of her work?

I’m in third place in a contest some of my own artist friends have called a scam. “It doesn’t look good,” they say. And maybe they’re right about the contest. But $25,000 for works — some of which took years to perfect — would mean I get to keep moving in every direction my practice wants to go, instead of narrowing myself into a product that fits a tidy box. That’s not how every artist works. It’s not how I work.

So yes, I’m in it. Eyes open.

I haven’t spent a single dollar to get here. Some generous souls have donated without being asked — and I’m genuinely moved — but all I’m asking of you is a vote.

Because a vote cannot be bought, and I want to find out if honest networking and thirty years of real work can still move a needle.

I live and breathe art. Click the link and be part of the experiment.

Where do you find inspiration?

Dream flight, incandescent light, unruly 6th graders, a 7 year old goldfish, modern masters, ancient philosophers, broken glass, a weeping cherry, unusual chord progressions, a cellist in my sheep pasture, Eraserhead, a 40 ft boom lift, Fermat’s last theorem, Diocletian’s Palace, the casual diversity of Marseille, sea anemone, a good game of chess, The Adriatic, solo travel, watching the sun set 44 times in one day.

Wally Hedrick; I was his muse. His apprentice. His gallery contact and first website builder. We lived together for 13 years. I was alone with him when he died. But he didn’t die. He lives on. He taught me to resist! Bravo , Wally.
