A fascinating artist!

“All of my works are steps on my journey, a struggle for truth that I have waged with pen, canvas, and materials. Overhead is a distant, radiant star, and the more I stretch to reach it, the further it recedes. But by the power of my spirit and my single-hearted pursuit of the path, I have clawed my way through the labyrinthine confusion of the world of people in an unstinting effort to approach even one step closer to the realm of the soul.”
Yayoi Kusama - Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama.

RIP Yayoi Kusama - 22 Mar 1929 - 14 Aug 2026, aged 97.

Summer classes ended today! It went by much too fast! 😎 Mini galleries built in little wooden shadow boxes were a big hit!

Illustration Camp was a great success! Given a simple manuscript, these talented girls created original imagery using watercolors, polymer clay, colored pencils and gems! Special thanks to Miss Sam Applegate for filling in for me midweek! Sad to see this camp end! ❤️
