HUTCHINS’ ARCHEOLOGICAL DIGS
So I was cleaning our family homestead’s “dungeon”. I got to do it because I’m the only one in the family who has a good strong back (such a blessing I’m sure). Waaaaay in the back, where the ceiling is about 4′ high is a 40 year old packrat nest. It’s been there since we…
Read MoreWHISKEY ROW MURALS (Prescott AZ)
You are gonna need to turn your head for this one. In the center of this first streetscape of Whiskey Row, since I needed the painting peopled-up, of course I put friends and relatives in it! There are lots of the staple characters of the Row, plus friends and family of the owner of the…

James Dean ’53 Indian Chief MOTORCYCLE MURAL (and LOTS more!) So the first 3 days of this mural were spent sketching! LOTS AND LOTS OF LITTLE DETAILS that must be exact! It’s an Indian Chief 1953 with James Dean sitting on it. Now since JD’s Indian was a 500 and not a Chief,…

Metro Station, Washington D.C., on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. two thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After three minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed…

This coyote was one I came upon during a “photo safari” I did one of the days while an Artist in Residence at the Grand Canyon National Park. I’m from Prescott, so I see coyotes all the time, but NEVER have I seen one this big and healthy! He came within 30 feet of me…

Y This is one part of a wall of 3 for a small mural I did for a women’s/children’s homeless shelter clinic for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. I love those guys because they saved the life not once but twice of my husband’s sweet son Scott. Our family will always be grateful to them for what…
