Jo poses with photographer Cortney Kintzer at The Left Bank Studio
Pictured here with me is someone you don’t usually see on camera: the gifted photojournalist Cortney Kintzer. Thanks, Cortney, for sending me the photos, and for making the interview into a virtual tour of the studio!
Hat made with memories of good times raising three little girls
Here’s a close-up of a hat including a picture of my three daughters when they were little (one toothless!). For their birthdays, each one is getting a hat.
People have been excited about the “memories of…” hats and coming up with all kinds of ideas to bring into them.

We had a great time last week when Mollie Cooney and the KCCI-TV crew stopped in to take a look at the studio. Mollie didn’t know what to focus on for a five-minute interview, there is so much going on! Some of the camera crew had been up since 4:30 so I quickly served up a simple brunch, and dessert (on a shoe, of course!).
It was a lot of fun being interviewed and the segment will air on KCCI-TV (Des Moines Channel 8) on Sunday morning, April 1, 2012 between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Mollie was familiar with my watercolors but the slumped acrylic was new and exciting to her. She said she has enjoyed watching the multimedia change over the years, and is looking forward to seeing us at the State Fair. Many thanks to Mollie and crew for such an enjoyable interview!
Goldfinch memory hat in progress
Look what Mary created at the “Memories of…” class on Saturday – a hat in memory of her mother, who appeared to her as a goldfinch. Her hat sports several views of the goldfinch as it fluttered from window to window around the house. After it’s sewn, I’ll post a photo of the completed hat with goldfinches fluttering!
Brush • Cloth • Scissors, an exhibit at GL Foster’s artWorks (Nevada, IA), continues through April 27, 2012 and features some of my recent work including surface design, handmade paper, handpainted fabric, and watercolor paintings.
Pictured at right: finished results of salt, tape, and bleach resist technique used on watercolor paper and on cotton fabric.
Jo was doing a work shop on Belonging in watercolor, and guess what
the birds where a hit and they all got along!
Jo was part of a panel at ISU Business College Nov. 9th talking about
her business plan and being an entrepreneur
in Gilbert during these tough times.
