I have a photography project that I’ve been wanting to work on for about the last year and there simply wasn’t enough time for it. So, I’m taking an Artist’s Sabbatical this winter to work on it.

This means that regretfully, I won’t be at either Boskone or Norwescon. I’ll really miss people but I need this time for the new work. And, of course I’ll be at both of them next year. I will be at Wiscon and at Worldcon.

I have lots of exciting jewelry and sculpture commission work and I’m still happily take new commissions and taking care of people’s jewelry needs. But the Sabbatical will let me explore this new work.

I’m not ready to discuss the new work yet but I’m sure I will in the future.
