 Where do you go on vacation when you live in Hawaii? This summer, we decided to experience the extreme opposite of the Hawaiian landscape: The desert of Moab and Escalante, Utah. There was even some cliff jumping in the cards for me! I felt a surge of inspiration: Nature does abstraction best.  Student Question: I took a course of yours years ago in Penticton, BC. I hope you'll come back again one day soon. What brands of paint do you use? I'm using Stevenson but looking to switch. Suggestions? I appreciate your expertise and advice.  My greatest satisfaction comes from witnessing the return of joy and movement into my student's creative process. It's as if they become children again: curious, uninhibited, present in their bodies, and unburdened by the heaviness of expectation. Experience the transformation.
