How Great is our God – Kenya Connection Team 2017
They were just exploring the wonders of being in a family, home less than a year. Some were learning to use utensils for the first time, riding in cars for the first time, trying to figure out why it was “raining” in the house and their new parents wanted them to stand in the “rain.”…Read more How Great is our God – Kenya Connection Team 2017

The Experience of Being An Artist
There are days I love being an artist: those mornings when I disappear into my laundry room/studio and get lost in paint. I forget to eat and lose all track of time. My soul is renewed in a place of wonder and possibility, and it splashes over into renewed strength for the trials and challenges…Read more The Experience of Being An Artist
Art Opening in Denver
The November night is cold and icy after the first snowfall of the season. I pull my coat tight around me during the short walk to the gallery, hand-in-hand with my husband. Isolated figures smoking a cigarette on the corner or walking a dog do not say hello. Windows without curtains yawn into small, beat up…Read more Art Opening in Denver
The Bird Must Fly
It's the heart splayed, soul displayed feeling. Vulnerable, that's how it feels to walk into a new gallery with art in hand, even if you already know your piece is accepted into the show. And even more so in a new city. A new city, and yet an old city. I graduated from the University…Read more The Bird Must Fly

In a last blaze of glory, the stars will shine one more time on Saturday, Aug 13 in my dear friend's backyard. We are dedicating a tent to display and sell the artwork, with 100% of profits returning…Read more Stars & Butterflies

Spring Surely Comes
Winter and spring scuffle for dominance this year in Colorado. Spirea yellow and crab apple pink persevere against steel gray sky. A few days ago, on May 2, snow-bound foothills yielded to patches of white clinging to city shadows. Frozen and formidable, Pikes Peak still anchors winter's battlefront. I will never forget the latest snowfall of…Read more Spring Surely Comes
Shine Like Stars, collaborative gallery of Sanctuary of Hope kids and Colleen Briggs
I am currently working on a project that makes me so happy, I can hardly stand it! It almost feels too good to be true. I eagerly anticipate opening night on Oct 2, 2015, in collaboration with some of my favorite people on earth, the Sanctuary of Hope (SoH) family of Kenya. They will sleep…Read more Shine Like Stars, collaborative gallery of Sanctuary of Hope kids and Colleen Briggs
