Fredericka Foster J-35 Pushing Her Dead Calf After a photo by Ken Balcomb
Alan Honick contributed a beautiful photograph of his collection of moon snails. His statement described walks on the beach, and how the number of shells found by his friend decreased and eventually ended in the last fifteen years. The shells were beautiful, arranged in the spiral as they grow… or dwindle. The story was simple, and haunted me.

and this Salish narrative made with stamps collected around the nation, which evidently is an artistic genre called “Philately.” (wow!)

Alex Walker took a break from his painting practice to sketch a gulping salmon, which by the title was giving him chase. Well done. Glad you survived. This fish caught you a $50 gift certificate at the League.
Big thanks to all the participating artists. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Chuck Close has an almost photographic memory for things that are flat, but for 3 dimensional things that move around – things like faces – he is effectively blind. His work is built around his talent, and his disability. Through the detailed grids, Close can learn about the faces of people he cares about and commit them …
I heard the story about the mother who threw the sheet over her daughter so she could more safely give her a hug. I thought of these paintings of The Lovers by Magritte. I thought about these unusual times, when basic human connection could bring death to those we love. During these suspended and unnerving …
Research how to improve your memory, and you’ll likely find articles touting drawing as the miracle cure for focus, memory and even dementia. Great! Guess what we’re going to do today? My memory is like swiss cheese, but I love to figure out how things work. I tried this creative challenge with Lendy and I …

Most of the pages are filled instead with her own internal mythology, an internal theater. Buy a copy of Kahlo’s Diary Image …
