The old shoeshine box – This week’s Indy column
We recently lost Jack Miller, a working artist and Katrina refugee, who with his wife, Sabina, made Eureka Springs home after the storm. Jack was the real deal – an artist who spent hours in the studio, daily. A painter and printmaker, Jack was also responsible for the giant red high-heel, the jaguar-pulling chariot, and […]
A Dingo ate my baby
On my walk with the dogs this morning we discovered this tiny sock in the middle of the road. I suspect someone close by has figured out how to pull her socks off and throw them out the back seat window.

On par with herding cats, I managed to get 35 of them to participate in the Artist Impression of the Mother exhibit at The Space […]
Fave pic from the Mother Show

Bathed in light is artist John Stalling, […]
Carrying out the bodies
Thanks to all the local artists who participated in the Artist Impressions of the Mother exhibit over Mother’s Day Weekend and to everyone who came out in support. It was quite the turn-out for Saturday night’s opening reception. We even sold several pieces. !!!!!!! Today we broke down the show, and photographer Richard Quick, who came […]
