Fight for Justice, for Democracy, for a CHANGE for the better

5/5/25

Hands off March in month of March, my sign
I am making collages for a way to express my anger and frustration with the current Regime's attack on everything; environment to National Parks, freedom to voting rights, healthcare to world wide assistance, to animal welfare and pollution, the list is too infinite !  Therefore, the ART for change is happening! 

Please take a look at my new Gallery, for Protest and Social Democracy to see more recent work, and collage work.  Also many are in the Collage/Mixed Media Gallery.

Thanks!

Cougars and springtime

5/10/24

On a sunny warm July morning, in 2018, at 10am....I looked outside my studio window to garden area, and to my amazement this beautiful LARGE female cougar was walking up our driveway

Again this May morning of 2024, 2 cougars were spotted 4 houses down one morning walking in a neighbors garden around 9am. Beautiful powerful cats!  he shared this one cougar photo he captured.
