Like many of you, it's that time of year where I dig out from the holidays and start anew. Most of the activity in my studio lately has consisted of purging old papers, framing, organizing materials and information, and cleaning. This refreshing of my space and my thoughts, gives me the feeling of "swimming to the top." I can breathe a bit better now and can focus better on the future and the present.
In my studio I am currently working on a variety of projects. A "family" of drawings based on old photographs created on vellum with china marker and turpentine - to be later used in artist books, cards, paintings and more, a series of paintings on rag paper in watercolor, charcoal, gouache, and acrylic based on our June trip to Italy - an extension of the works I created in later summer, more pond paintings in oil, and beginning research/creations of my formal narrative project on potato farming in Maine with the Thompson family.
The gallery is busy with private lessons and an overall facelift to the entire space... come and see for yourself!
