Getting Through This Together has been the working title. Not sure if it is final. Been working on a Planet S culpture that is taking a long time. Should be able to complete it this spring. I just put one of my interactive magnetic pieces on a wall in my house. Playing with the infinite ways to assemble it and getting excited about adding to this series… Here are 2 recent arrangements.
New Year’s Eve 2022
Where to start? I have not posted in awhile and there is so much to update. First off, the winter issue of the Maine Arts Journal is published and is worth taking time to absorb. Even though I have read and worked with all the images to lay out the posts, I keep going back and allowing the words and images to percolate. More later, Nora
January 2022
Truth, lies, misinformation, communication, belief, denial, fear.
Images flood my sleeping and waking mind. Humans gesture, reach out, push away, cover eyes, ears or mouths. At times we react through our fear. Can we learn to listen, embrace, protect and honor one another?
I am painting and making sculpture. It is my way of witnessing this fraught time and processing my roller coaster emotions. I strive to be present, release, accept and see the beauty of each moment.
Maine Arts Journal Winter 2022 is available.
New Years 2022
First, some recent banners done by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team! All issues that precede us into 2022.
Maine Arts Journal Fall Issue
Freedom and Captivity the Fall issue of the Maine Arts Journal (maineartsjournal.com) is available now. A powerful issue exploring consequences and alternatives to incarceration through the eyes of artists, it is a compelling read.

The Maine Arts Journal Summer 2021 issue is a great. Fellow editor Véronique Plesch wrote this piece and when I was doing the lay out for the issue I was blown away by the images. The essay/interview is just as good.
Family Tree Sculptures Where They Belong
Branch sculptures are finally at home. Coated with weather proofing they are living outside. We will see how they respond. It is a joy to live with them in the environment.

Maine Arts Journal Summer Issue
The Summer issue on the theme Marks and Tracks is delicious, thought provoking and worth taking your time to explore. As an editor, I get immersed and fall in love with many images as I move through the submissions and invited Maine artists/writers. It is a joy to share the work and the ideas. Please feel free to share with friends and let me know what your reactions are.
