Radiance

We view values
in different ways.
One carries, one silent.
Thread frays, one mends.
Respect births out like
subterranean roots
of rainbows
in a deep dark array
of what is
felt, not seen.

Each start.
Each star a soft rebellion,
a conscious lift
of what remains.

Tiny things in my yard are starting to emerge this spring—and I love witnessing it. Creating art alongside learning new ways to do it more sustainably feels like a meaningful path, especially when shared with good people who care deeply for each other and this planet we call home.

...Does its tongue flop from the throat
of a wide-open sneaker,
wheezing so hard it turns red?

Is it uninhibited, contagious,
rerouting the air,
making new shapes of space—

then catching again
on the next breath,
spilling forward,
wild and round
as ever.

What is the shape of a laugh?

Is it a swirling
inverted roundness,
or a zigzagged slide?

Is it plump like dime-store gumballs,
or tiny crumbs of giggles
caught behind the teeth?

Is it stringy, gummy, golden-lit—
hiding inside a jack-o’-lantern?

....

We live in a beautiful world...White Sands National Park was spectacular!

Bringing this sculpture to life has been a process of unraveling and reweaving—both physically and conceptually. Textures and seams hold stories of transformation, presence, and absence. Every frayed edge speaks of grounding and flight.

“What is left in the space between?” my monoprint captures a face in a quiet, aching moment—an expression of longing, of being bound to a shadow self. It captures fragments that shape us. Can we hold empathy for shadows? #ToBeFrank #ShadowSelf #EmpathyInPrint #Monoprint

“BRAVA! An Homage to Women in the Visual Arts” exhibition poster. The design features a textured, wintry blue image of tree branches from the “Mono No Aware” series by Cara Luneau. Text below includes the exhibition location, “Boulder Public Library’s Canyon Gallery,” and details about the opening reception on Thursday, February 6, from 5:00–6:30 PM. The layout has a clean and elegant style with gray and blue tones.

A side-by-side artistic composition featuring two contrasting visuals. On the left, a close-up of Megan Morgan’s work showcasing a detailed, textured, red pattern resembling organic fibers or threads. On the right, a black-and-white photograph of Magdalena Abakanowicz standing in a room surrounded by her iconic sculptures of headless, hunched figures made from textured materials. Both names, “MEGAN MORGAN” and “MAGDALENA ABAKANOWICZ,” are displayed in bold white text over their respective sections, emphasizing their connection to tactile and sculptural art.

Exciting news! I’m part of BRAVA! An Homage to Women in the Visual Arts at Canyon Gallery, Boulder Public Library (Feb 4–Mar 30). My piece honors Magdalena Abakanowicz, whose raw sculptures inspire me. Join the opening Feb 6, 5–6:30 PM, and celebrate women’s artistic legacy! #WomenInArt

Yes! Did this one sell? Maybe a new layout, colors, concepts.

A close-up view of a serene bedroom corner featuring part of a textured burlap sculpture with repurposed paint in vibrant blue, yellow, and neutral tones. The sculpture adds a tactile, artistic flair to the soft blue wall. In the foreground, a pair of relaxed feet rests on a white, crumpled duvet, while large green leaves from a potted plant frame the scene. A vintage, ornately framed mirror leans against the wall, reflecting light onto the wooden floor, creating a peaceful, intimate atmosphere.

A serene bedroom with blue walls, featuring a vibrant burlap wall sculpture crafted from torn pieces of repurposed paint in swirling sunburst shapes of blue, yellow, and peach tones. The textured sculpture adds depth and dimension to the space. A woman lies on a white bed with rumpled bedding, gazing upward in a relaxed pose. A tall mirror with an ornate frame leans against the wall beside a large green plant, while soft natural light streams through white blinds, enhancing the room’s calm and artistic ambiance.
