High Road Artist: 200th Post, Then and Now

I truly can’t believe I’m writing my 200th post! As Adam said, the second 100 sure went by faster than the first. A lot has happened over the course of all these months. The blog has changed. In the beginning I was telling my story. Now I realize I’m painting a portrait of the lives […]

Barbara McCauley’s Opening at The Gallery on the Green, Taos, NM

New Gallery’s Opening Day!

Today we celebrated. We got to the gallery, the three of us, Anna, Bill and I, and set all the lights in all the rooms. And just as Bill was finishing up some wiring, before we’d had a chance to put away the tools and the bulbs, before our OPEN sign was even up, our […]

Weaving the Threads Together

The physical materials that make up these micaceous pieces include, of course, the wood and canvas of my substrate, the plasters I use to create texture. And then the grasses from this land on which I live… … and the precious mica, this “gift of the earth, gift of those who have the privilege of […]
