Artist friends and colleagues

Gary Stutler, my dear painting teacher from Napa

Clare Carver, a long-time friend and intrepid organic farmer and fine artist

Plein Air Austin, a group who welcomed me warmly when I moved to Texas and who continue to inspire and encourage!

Timothy Horn, another stellar artist and also a very fine teacher. I've attended two of his plein air workshops in Marin County.

Austin doggie favorites

The Trailer Bark - dog care services from the trusted and delightful Robin Cupell and her partner Steve DeBono

Taurus Training and Doggie Day Care - this place treats my dog Lulu (and all its other charges) with such excellent care. I love their positive and effective training methods.

Bark and Purr - wonderful, friendly and locally-owned pet supply store that stocks all the organic and safe dog chows

Other Austin faves

Dreamtime Animal Sanctuary - this farm animal sanctuary in Elgin Texas does wonderful work and could use your support!
