Transforming my art studio

lgrugerhanson — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:41:41 +0000

I was going to do a post about 2011 and my story about getting to where we are now in Prescott, AZ but then I decided nope, I’m going to start blogging about today, right now. Sorry the story is getting a skip in it since I haven’t been writing much lately. But just know [...]

Happy New Year! We’re celebrating because we finally got into our new home in Prescott, Arizona! Wow, it was a challenge to get here but we finally made it!

A Love of Art & Letters

I’ve had a love of Art & Letters for quite some time now.

When I was in high school I used to write letters and decorate them and send them to one of my best friends. As an artist, I think it is a powerful way to express one’s self, the mix of words with one’s [...]

I Made Another YouTube Art Video

It’s not that making videos is that hard on my MacBook. I use iMovie and it’s pretty intuitive. But it’s hard to find the time! And I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of that annoying sound, the hummm, that is in the background of my voice talking. Oh well, it is [...]

As you know, I love whimsical, colorful art and that is what Cindy specializes in. I love her [...]
