Small Discoveries
I’ve done a few small paintings recently and have made a few discoveries. The most important one being that even if you have no idea what you want to do in the studio, the best thing is just to actually do something, anything. I have some bigger ideas brewing, but sometimes just working small and more quickly is exactly what I need, either because of time constraints, or not wanting to commit to a bigger piece quite yet.
Love Is…
I was very pleased to be asked to be a part of a book project, LOVE IS | Das Buch. From the authors: LOVE IS is an extraordinary book! An almanac of love. On more than 450 pages you will find social media postings, photographs, images and text of over 200 artists and writers from all over the world.
Don’t Plan The Ending
I like to think I’m a good planner. In fact, my excellent planning, research, and organization skills come quite handy in my everyday life. Figuring out my next travel plans (stay tuned), organizing my daughter’s schedule (when she lets me), staying on top of my To-Do Lists (did I mention I’m the Queen of post-it notes?) and overall having a pretty good sense of the big picture plan of my life (except, thankfully, the very end.)
Crocker Art Auction
Snow Dance is part of the Crocker Art Museum’s 2017 Art Auction. It is currently on view in the Crocker galleries from May 18 to June 3rd. If you are interested in my piece or other available pieces, but are unable to attend, you can place an absentee bid.
The Wind in the Trees
Another creative outlet that I enjoy is writing poetry which I started last year. I had taken a creative writing poetry class in college over 25 years ago but hadn’t written anything since then. My topics are varied but frequently are inspired by nature or an idea may start to percolate while I’m running in nature.
