Multifaceted, and muse in her own right, painter, photographer, digital artist, private artist's model, and companion to her fine furred friends, 
is simply an artist for whom her own work speaks far more eloquently than any words.
I am pleased to be able to call her friend, and collaborative artist with my studio. Truly a gem of great worth.

WE Have Lost a Dear Friend
It is not without tears and sorrow that I and DA have lost a great friend and artist. Marion Skydancer passed about 6am at the Hospice unit of the VA Hospital in Asheville NC. He was in and out of the hospital many times this year, dealing with long-term health issues, but never gave up trying to live his dreams. Many of you know him as the "Wizard" and guardian of the mountain forest, a man of deep convictions, and a deal love of the forest and its creatures. His costumes at Dragon Con were reflective of his beliefs as a native American and part of his legacy. No memorial services are planned at this moment.
SAYING GOODBY TO A LONG TIME FRIEND
In a few days, a friend of many years will be gone forever.
The DA that we have come to love, finding new friends,
finding new art, new concepts, images of objects we have
taken for granted, have come "alive" in simple strokes of
an artist hand, the click of a camera, the blending of color
and concepts; monochrome delights, and pencil drawings.
They are not lost, but transferred into a new dimension of

coming to an end, and we will be forced to accept the
new "DA". Some will rejoice at the new c

have the "wonder" DA, "Eclipse". This I expect is a decision made

By eliminating the "old DA" in it's entirety, it allows the corporate
owner to write a new "terms and conditions for use" clause which
current and new users must accept to remain or become a member,
while giving more legal protection to the parent Corporation.
I would not be surprised for DA to change its name to "Deviant
Art Eclipse" So far, I am not impressed with Eclipse but will give
it a whirl. At worst, I will not without sadness, leave D
The Covid19 Equation
Due to restrictions on movement due to Covid19 exposure,
I will be working with some of my older images for a while.
It will be fun to go back in time and do some updated editing
of older work. Some will be in color, others in black and white
back when I had my own darkroom.
Stay safe, help those in need if possible, be in prayer and help
to others, and remember, this too will come to pass.
