HI Everyone,

Happy New Year! I hope this finds you in good health and fine spirits.

My art column with 48 Hills San Francisco kicks off another great roster with artist Annie Duncan, a painter and clay sculptor who transforms everyday objects into larger-than-life symbols of modern life. Read the article here and visit my author page for archived profiles you may have missed. To receive fresh stories right in your in-box, sign up for 48 Hills’ free newsletter.

I’m currently working on Life Lines, Volume II, which is slated for release in early fall 2024. Thank you to everyone who purchased Life Lines, Volume I, your support is very much appreciated. If you enjoyed the book, please leave a review on my Amazon page.

I also have a collaborative project in the works of micro-fiction works accompanied by line drawings that is by turns fun, silly, contemplative, and dark! More on that book as it develops.

As a new year gets underway, keep in touch and let me know what’s inspiring you for the days ahead. Drop me a line, a question, a comment any time.

Here’s to 2024. May we always find the light, shine the light on others, and lead the way out of darkness and towards a collective joy.

Mary
