The Magenta Door Art Studio celebrates permaculture ethics: Care for the Earth, care for people, and take only your fair share (and return any surplus.) With that philosophy in mind, I've been joyfully growing and sharing flowers grown from seed on site with no pesticides or herbicides.

Be Hoppy
5x6 1/2" Monotype x lino block greeting cards with white envelope.
Each card is one of a kind. Zoom in on each card to see the number. (Not to be confused with Zooming to see me virtually;) I mean make the image bigger so you can choose your unique card. They are marked with 1/11, 2/11, 3/11. Only 11 were printed in one session.
The model is our pet rabbit Peanut. He was the runt of the litter. But now he is an old bunny who has to take arthritis medicine every day:)

The artwork is titled "Magenta Door Bistro" even though there really isn't a bistro with that name.

I've taught many virtual art classes and created lots of artwork surrounded by singing birds, bright flowers and three apple trees.

Not Lemonade was inspired by a Zoom conversation with an art student who lives in Naples Italy. It was April 2020, during the Corona Virus pandemic. The lemon trees were blooming that week in Naples so I started a series based on lemons and the idea of what lemons might represent during this unprecedented time.
