The light in the new studio has been informing the work in so many happy ways…A new series has captured my heart and imagination. My plan is to show some of them in July at Art Santa Fe . I hope you all enjoy !
2018 has opened with the a studio renovation project finally completed! The new light flowing into the studio has invigorated my practice and my work and I can’t wait to see in what new directions the work will grow. I have posted lots of new work to my website so if it’s been awhile please stop by and visit… and I’d love to hear from you so please feel free to leave a comment!
This week needed some balm for the soul… so I worked on my spirit guides and guardian angel series. Collaging with the Japanese papers allows these beings to organically evolve and the moment they make themselves known to me is pure magic.
Many goals were set at the start of the year and in reaching for the stars my practice has attained new heights of which I had yet only dreamed. With no fear of failure (yet experiencing it very often!) I put my work out into the world and have seen the return with acceptance into 2 juried encaustic shows (Thank you Conrad Wilde Gallery & IEA!), inclusion in 3 group shows, sales and commissions all the way from Dubai, London and France to locally here in Los Angeles. These small wins make the countless losses all worth while. For any who have a dream, cast your net wide and high and you WILL catch something good. Let’s see what the rest of 2017 has to offer!
How busy I have been!!! Working large, exploring and just discovering! Stepping out of my comfort zone and putting the work out there into juried competitions, festivals, and gallery submissions. So far the results have been a mixed bag of being completely ignored and winning some awards. I’m ready to take the many losses needed for the few hard won wins!
