Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Step Away from the Coffe Pot! I confess that I slide out of bed every morning like the next girl and hightail it over to my coffee pot. I need. That jolt to get me to the studio and give me the necessary creative focus for whatever projects I have in the works. Every once in a while though, I find myself a little too. Focused on finishing one of those projects, a little too. And maybe that's the problem. This New Yorker article. Monday, June 10, 2013. Can I get an Amen? These ar...

Thursday, July 24, 2014. Say your prayers and cross everything- I actually believe that I have found the most amazing new spot! In the meantime, I will leave you with a couple of pictures from my dream studio space which belonged to my future sister-in-law's grandparents (follow that? In Cape Cod. Where ever I set up shop, I am definitely building a replica of their mind-blowingly amazing easel-table! Wish me luck, friends! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'd love to hear from you.

Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Ignoring the Price Tag. The first painting that I ever made was done with car touch-up paint on my bedroom wall.yup, most laid-back parents ever. There was something so freeing about using cheap, left over supplies to create. Mess up big time? Labels: commissioning church art. Monday, March 4, 2013. Monday Match: Exhausted Edition.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Walking Toward Certainty with Terror in Your Throat. Have you heard of performance artist, Philippe Petit? I caught a radio interview that he gave as I worked in my studio this morning. He is famous for so many amazing feats, including his 1975 tightrope walk between New York's twin towers. We all think of the thrill of his stunts. Will he make it across or will he slip and fall to his death? We must dive into our creative endeavors with all the risk associated with unknown, but ...

I Hate to Alarm You...: November 2013

Friday, November 22, 2013. The anniversary of JFK's assassination has me thinking about violence and familiarity. Bear with me. You have undoubted seen the news clips recently like this one. I think that what so many of us can't wrap our heads around is the WHY of this violence. WHY would someone use deadly force on a complete stranger minding his/her own business? WHY are these teens laughing about their friends smashing the skulls of fathers waiting at bus stops, and teachers walking home from work?

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. When Advertising Gets It Right. Most of the time, I daydream about moving to a place like Bhutan. Where I won't have to spend mental energy dodging the push and pull of companies trying to sell me happiness. Then today, I came across this ad:. This is why I love painting portraits. This is why I spent a year on my AS IS. There truly is a flame of life at the core of every person. It is so much more intensely beautiful than we let ourselves see. How Dove got it right.

I Hate to Alarm You...: February 2013

Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Do you know what happens when you are an artist who happens to think that her spouse is one good looking dude? Every single male figure that you paint or draw starts to look vaguely like him! I'm serious. This 'generic' angel that I sketched out in preparation for a large sanctuary wall that I am painting, could be my husband.or at least a relative of his.eesh. Time to call in some models. Labels: commissioning church art. Monday, February 25, 2013. It was an absolute honor.
