Discover your passion for writing,

performative readings, the artist book,

and indie publishing

Welcome to my rich and radiant world of creative expression from the inside out.  As an artist, writer, publisher, event producer and truly wearable art designer, Larry Vogt, musician and writer, and I collaborate to produce events designed for your voice to be heard and your stories felt.

My desire is to mentor you in writing the story that’s waiting to be told, teach you to make a beautiful artist book or guide you through the process for indie publishing your chapbook.

My mission is to encourage people at midlife and beyond to stop suppressing and start expressing their unique, colorful, deeper selves through what they wear, write and how they share their work. 

Step inside my studio or visit my shop online, or make an appointment for a Zoom consultation. Write your “act of power” story. Find your perfect wearable art statement piece. Each piece in my one-of-a-kind wearable art collection is handmade and designed to express who you really are, what what you like and what what you stand for.

It's never too late to unfurl or express yourself no matter what your past experiences have been.

There may have been containment. Your range of reaching out might have been limited. But now, when you’re in the deepest, ripest years of your life you’re ready to open up, spread further and fully be yourself. Write your story and publish. And never pass up an opportunity to share your work.

The more we write, the deeper we go, the more we remember, and memories show up on the page. This is where poetry and stories come from.

Commit to take time and practice writing your stories.

Commit to publishing.

Commit to making art.

Commit to sharing who you are!

We write because we have something to say. We read our work because we want to share. Make it happen at Cafe LuigArt!

The more we write, the deeper we go, the more we remember, and memories show up on the page. This is where poetry and stories come from.

Commit to take time and practice writing your stories. Commit to publishing. Commit to making art. Commit to sharing who you are!
