Untitled Drawing

This drawing is made of graphite and watercolor on rag, then cut out creating a delicate wreath shape.

Here is a detail of the drawing. I will get some photos with some decent lighting for my website, but until then these will do.

Little Drawing

Here is a small little drawing that I have been working on for a few days. It is near completion, but I have to think about it a little bit more.

Back to work

After a LONG summer of moving to a new state and into a new home, I am happy to say that I am back to work in the studio! It has been a slow start because of time I have spent away, but I am thrilled to be making work again. Detail of some of my new drawings in process. I am starting with some small studies.Beautiful view out of my studio window offers me much inspiration. If you would like to see some of my efforts to make my studio child friendly visit my personal blog.

Klara Kristalova at SITE Santa Fe

This past week I had the great pleasure of visiting SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico. They were exhibiting three artists but I was entirely enchanted by Klara Kristalova's ceramic work. Her work approaches the sinister side of her imagination and dreams. The ceramic pieces were very simple and straight forward and obviously hand made. I found them incredibly inspiring and beautiful.

Bloomington Studio

My studio is slowly coming together. After a few days of work it is getting more organized and I have found the floor again. I have a few more boxes to unpack and need to buy some more tables and storage solutions. I will post some better photos when it is all the way unpacked and ready for work. Computer table, printer, rolls of paper, boxes, and dog.

framed artwork leaning against the wall, record player, more storage.

paper flat files, drawing storage, bookcases with and without doors.

How the studio looked on the day we moved in. "We just finished unpacking the last moving truck and this is how my new studio looks. I wonder how I will ever find some sort of organization and sense of peace I am hoping for. The view out my windows is amazing and I can't wait to make some new work here. "
