Hi Margaret,

My paintings are not available to see online, and 
I don't show them.  I paint them and then forget 
about them.  I'm enamored by the painting 
process, rather than the paintings.  That is just 
the way it works for me.  I've given some 
away.  Occasionally I take a bunch to the 
Goodwill to make room for more.  Whether they are 
then hung as is, or painted over is not my concern.

I do seem to connect with the Divine Feminine 
(archetypically speaking) when I paint.  Her 
attributes are sorely needed in this patriarchal 
culture.  Some seem to be symbolic, but others 
don't.  But really, I just paint.

I remember seeing your art, and it was 
wonderful.  Do you collage?  That was my favorite 
art form, but I haven't made one in a very long time.

Marsha
