Tears of Liberty It’s been a while since I’ve made some torn-paper art and this project has been on my mind and in my heart for the past few weeks. Make art. Find joy. Persist. Acrylic, paper, ink, and resin gemstones on paper.

I’ll be at El Cerrito Library Thu (2/13) to chat about Near Misses & Cowboy Kisses. There will be a watercolor activity, giveaway, Q&A & I’ll sign books. This is the perfect opportunity to support a library, make art & build community. If you’re in the Corona/Riverside area, I hope to see u there.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

I've always had a special place in my heart for Concord Coaches. Growing up in Concord, NH, there were a few on display that set my imagination in motion. Even more wonderful to me was that my 3rd great-grandfather, Charles Knowlton, painted the scroll work.

Fun pioneer fact I learned today: The trail from Salt Lake City to San Bernardino was so bumpy that cream could be churned into butter just from being jostled in the covered wagons! #nearmissesandcowboykisses #katrinaemmel #yaromance #yabooks

It's National Clean Off Your Desk Day! My desk sorely needed a declutter and it got it. Besides a deep clean, my daughter and I made a "mouse house" to cover the ridiculously bright power light on my surge protector/extension block. Here's to a less-messy start to the year!
