thinking out loud
“My interest is in experience that is wordless and silent, and in the fact that this experience can be expressed for me in art work which is also wordless and silent”.

I will be away drawing in the mountains for a few days. So excited to have this time after missing it for the past two years! Expecting to have lots of fun stuff to share when I return.
Showing my work.
I've been thinking quite a bit lately about being more focused on showing some of my work. That means making sure I have images to post on my website. This isn't difficult for my smaller drawings I scan them and that is the best solution.
Winter essentials. I love my little sketchbook (thanks Carol). I can hold it in a gloved or mittened hand.
I haven't been into the studio in a bit. Been working hard on a set of projects with pressing deadlines. If I had been in the studio more it is likely ideas would be flowing better.
Until then I have my favorite little fountain pen and my handy dandy orange sketchbook. It's easy to make small drawings in the cold and wind, even when you have to use Blistex or Chapstick.
I hope to have more news from the studio soon.
