Private Studio Tour: Ann Kresge

I got to go on another private studio tour Friday morning. Artist Deanna White arranged the studio visit because we were both on the September Visual Artist Studio Tour and unable to visit the studios of other artists. Deanna and I already did a tour of each other's studios, so this time we met at the home studio of Ann Kresge, just a short distance from my studio.






Ann discusses her work and some of her processes.


A few close-ups of Ann's versatile and wide range of work.













Even the outside of Ann's studio is fun (she lives on a gently flowing creek).




After our visit to Ann's studio, we popped over for a quick peek at mine.

Artists at Play

This weekend was the fall retreat of the Portland Art Collective at Menucha. I could go into lots of details about the great food, the badminton game sitting in chairs using fly swatters, or the wonderful art we made, but instead, I'll tell the story in photos and focus on the art.






I love photos of hands making art and I got so many great shots of the women working on a wide range of projects.
