I've always wanted to paint - you know, just slop liquid color onto something.  In Mansehra, Pakistan, during my three month stay in summer 2007, I finally fulfilled this urge.  If you choose to dive in don't expect great painterly talent, just those usual found objects...

These found object shadowboxes feature objects I picked up off the ground in Kenilworth and other local areas.  It's amazing the trash you see when you're looking for it, and what fun you can have with hot glue...

These mobiles are made out of found objects from DC and San Francisco and feature the graduation party of an unknown woman as well as a headless toy as the Devil and some colored bits of plastic as, well, colored bits of plastic.

My house at 4326 Douglas Street became a 'canvas' for an art installation more than once as I saved odd scraps from neighborhood trash piles or from catering extravagance and made them into something interesting.

Art that reflects a choice toward peace and community wholeness, including some protest signs, a pile of stuffed animals, and some graffiti modifications.

My first piece of jewelry and some travel pictures with dolls.

My sister Lois has a nativity scene collection that grows at least a little each year, since I've formed the habit of giving her one or two each Christmas.  Sometimes I buy them, but the more interesting ones I make, though you might think some of them more odd than interesting...
