Some of you may already know that I’ve started a new personal blog, At Home With Tori . I did this because I want this blog to stay totally about art and I’d like to involve you in the conversation. After all, one sided conversations, are just weird, if not a sign of insanity. Please save […]

I’ve given myself a challenge – to make at least 3 gothic, dark, scary, Halloween inspired works per week, in keeping with the Halloween spirit. Dark isn’t something I am totally comfortable with, but I decided to try to push myself out of my comfort zone. I started September 30th with this piece: Run Away Little […]
