Is there anything more annoying than someone who never updates their blog? I took the summer off from studio time and spent it traveling with my family and becoming inspired with the things I saw in Europe and Alaska. The wildness of Alaskan coast and the extreme civilization of Paris and London provided me with polar impulses which I think are coming through in the new series of paintings that I have begun. The structure of my pieces is still similar but I have been experimenting with letting go more. The results are a child-like stream of line and form. I'm feeling a lovely sense of play in my studio behind my kitchen where I go in between shopping for food, taking care of my daughter, and family obligations. My pledge to work daily, even if it is just for a few minutes, is helping me deepen to my work and the messages unconsciously embodied in it.
