AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Hi all; I'm new here and looking forward to connecting. I'm pretty isolated, which is good for getting work done, but sometimes it just sucks the life out of me. This should prove a good antidote. I'm on a low right now after a complete manic spring, which was excellent for creativity but awful for sleep. The fam. suffered.

I'm getting us ready for a trip to Seattle/Bellingham/Lummi Island to visit former Peace Corps (dh's) friends. I'll be taking along the sketchbook; maybe there'll be something worth posting. Friends have been traveling around the world this summer and have brought me all sorts of wonderful ephemera, too, for my collages and assemblages. Now I'll have "stuff" from the NW, too.

I've put snaps on flickr.com under Phoenix Arte. We don't have a lot of pro. photogs here, tho I'm trying to interest the son of a friend who is a wonderful young artist and photog. Right now my photo program isn't working, so I can't even crop. Oh well ... be kind.
