Kitty and I in front of my two admissions, Waves and Rain.
Work by the artist Crystal Wagner, Aggregation. I was really drawn to this piece. I loved the folded intaglio prints and her line sensibility. She used layering and translucent materials to make a beautiful installation.

I have been working on some large flowers out of tissue paper these past few days, so this artist really caught my eye. Zoe Bradley makes beautiful flowers and clothing out of paper usually for window displays or fashion designers. To see the sculptural paper artist zoe bradley’s work in person, her work will be on display at kate’s paperie soho in NYC from September 5th on.
I don't knit much and I have never learned how to weave, but I am quite inspired to do both with this yarn.......
I was determined to clean out my studio to make more room for another table and more work space. I soon realized what I needed more then more work space was something for my daughter to do while I was working. Kitty is almost always in the studio when I am drawing asking for this or that and wanting to play. I decided to bring in some of her things: kitchen, dollhouse, car garage, cash register as well as her art supplies. So far it has been working well and she plays much more and is less distracting in my studio. She really enjoys cutting paper as you can see in the second photo. So good bye more work space, hello play land!
Example of wall groupings made up of thumbnail images of drawings for upcoming show.
I have been thinking of ways of installing Deep Breath, Drawings to Benefit Lung Health. It seemed like an overwhelming task to decide on grouping and placement of the drawings. I decided to print thumbnail images of each drawing that will be in the show, then tape them together on a larger piece of paper. This has allowed me to expand my thinking about the space and how each image works with one another. This was a very basic, hands on process; made possible with some scissors and a little scotch tape.
When I was sick in the hospital with ARDS I hallucinated that my bed was a boat and I traveled across the world searching for a cure. I found this illustration online and it fit my story well.
