artist bio, circa. 2002

rachel carson and her young nephew, roger, explore the forest and the beach along the coast of maine.

it is a great book for all ages:)

Grandma Moses turned to painting in her late senventies for practical reasons, after working with worsted wool to make embroidered scenes which risked being eaten by moths. She painted mostly rural scenes of farm life in America, and was wildly popular in Europe and Japan. She remained more proud of her preserves than her paintings, and proudest of all of her children. This is my book cover for Grandma's M's "The Burning of Troy".

bolinas may 2010

banshees, brownies, norns, unicorns, dragons, fairies.. this lovely book by argentine author jorge luis borges with illustrations by peter sis, gives readers a well-rounded knowledge of imaginary beings. here is my new version of the original sis illustration.

Grandma Rosemary 1914- 2010

she lived 93 of her 96 years on our family's ranch, farming as we have in carpinteria for five generations. she was a wonderful painter of landscapes and flowers, a creative lady who loved to travel. she was full of love and contagious tears-down-the-cheeks laughter. i will miss her so!

a fruit and some veggies:)

dorothy iannone

dorothy iannone is an american artist. after meeting dieter roth on a trip in iceland with her husband, iannone left her husband and moved to europe in the 1960's. much of iannone's art is about her relationship with the german artist, illustrated through paper dolls drawings with captions.
