- Bio
- I'm an illustrator in my day job, but I keep leaking with other things that need to get out. I compiled a book "Miss You, Pat: Collected Memories of NY's Bravest of the Brave, Captain Patrick J. Brown" which enables me to die knowing I did one good thing. But I have more up my sleeve!

A Letter to My Two Tea Party Aunts
It’s been a few years since we’ve actually seen each other, due to distance, lifestyles, and a lull in funerals. And there’s no dire need to acknowledge second marriages of cousins or their offspring’s own parenting events, either with mailed announcement

Visiting Neil’s barn for the entire month of July was a sketchily planned getaway based on a mid-summer’s fantasy. I had never taken more than two weeks’ vacation and rarely get out of Dodge at all anymore. So it was with some trepidation that I allowed… Read full post »
Her name was Tron. My mother painted her in 1970, from a photo in Life magazine, and during that last year of high school she graced our suburban living room in a way that was both incongruous and yet entirely fitting. We were a white bread community; I/… Read full post »
Peg O' My Heart
My grandfather on my father’s side, “Pappaw” Watts, was a foreman at PP&L (Pennsylvania Power and Light) and Renaissance man: a self-taught musician, poet, photographer, and beekeeper. He also was a Depression-era

My avatar here is only one side of me. It is the part that says “Hey! Look at me!” and represents my illustration style. Kind of girly and fun, whimsical and retro-chic. It’s on my website and business card, and I guess you… Read full post »
“She’s a bit shy,” Chris informs me. That’s OK, I am too.
Violet is eighty-five, and recently uprooted from a small English village to live with her son and his wife, both exhaustive

I was born into the spirit of Christmas gift excess. The proof sits in family archives passed down to me, the oldest and the childless. It is in the meticulously organized photo albums, well… Read full post »
Anne Lamott I Am Not - a Saturday repost
Anne Lamott I am not. But I feel a sort of sisterhood-snag as I read her writing, a knit and purl of similar sensibilities. Not a media junkie, I have limited awareness of who’s out there--who’s hot, hip, happening, reviewed, revered

Theoretically, I discovered that my father was human when he died. I was four, and Death was a vague notion, if that. In 1957, not even a pet had died.
One day he was smiling and lifting me off the… Read full post »

Ground Zero from the north. I hadn't seen the actual site in
