Hello from Lake Michigan



When you think of Green Bay, is it Packers, snow, and cheeseheads? Well -- this is my new version of Green Bay, as seen from Eagle Panorama high above it in Peninsula State Park, Door County, WI.

Pretty Stones

Like many women, I could look at beautiful jewelry all day. I love the variety of stones, especially colored ones, from aquamarine to tourmaline and even the beautiful pink quartz. But looking at beautiful stones for work? Count me in.

Recently, someone turned me on to Luba Warrack's jewelry, interesting organic forms whose focus is unusual, often large semi-precious stones. A little digging located the artist in Lindley Park, just a neighborhood hop away here in Greensboro. A little more digging revealed that she had been a research scientist before turning to jewelry full-time. I smelled a story!

So did the editor of Go Triad, and yesterday, my article about Luba's great artistic journey was published in the Thursday edition. The photographer did a great job on the piece, especially the photograph of one of her pieces, and I was happy to have another art article in the local market.
