Northward Ho!

I'm enroute to the Washington State International Kite Festival. The week-long event runs from the 15th through the 21st. Moving at about 75 miles per day, I'm not sure I'll get there in time.


I stopped to visit artist-extraordiniare Marilyn Hoffman in Quincy, California. Here she shows off her hand-dyed, silk dress with Chica, the dog.

Marilyn Hoffman Leaps into Reality

non-representation reality, no less.

Is it an intrinsic element of being an artist that enables them to embrace change? Where do they find the Courage to Create?

After one conversation, albeit lengthy (is there any other kind with MFH?), Marilyn Hoffman leapt from the cliff of abstraction  and threw herself headlong into non-representation. And it was/is sublime.

You'll have to go by and visit her to see it. I was so startled I forgot to take photos. Her work is in The Main Street Artists Gallery and in the  Capitol Arts Gallery, both in Quincy, CA. Her contact info is available at each.

The one she's holding is recent, but her newest is a masterpiece!!!
