Roots

I have been collecting wonderful roots from potted plants of the summer and fall plants, branches and roots as I am working on the concept of our deepest roots of home, heart, self, being uprooted and related.

This year is filled with changes of home and relationship. I am putting my art out in public more formally. It is both exciting and nerve wracking. The best is yet to come.

I invite you to visit my website at www.originalartonline.com . Search for me by last name.

Best Wishes,
Vicki

Eco Concious Art Materials

I am looking at my responsibility as a citizen and an artist within that scope to look at how the materials I use effect the environment. I am in the process of transitioning into the use of non-toxic, earth friendly paints and supplies and invite other artists to step up to this challenge.

Here are some great resources to make the shift accessible: http://www.bioshield.com/ , http://www.ecoartworks.com/ , www.treehollowtoys.com/lystart.html.

Love to hear from anyone who is doing this or interested. Happy 2009!
