i do have a few new paintings, not as many this time due to moving the studio and making clothes, but they do exist on ebay this week.

my doll book had to be postponed, i needed to get a few more photos together, so it is still in the making, i did upload new dolls that will be in the book, also that are for sale. They can be seen this month at my doll/art show at Goldrush Coffee Bar, on MLK in NE Portland Oregon or here.
