oh thank you all! i am so glad you find comfort and inspiration in this. sometimes the simplest words and expressions can connect us.
Exploring Color, Line, & Texture
In preparation for an upcoming show, I have been reflecting a bit on my own process of creating since I just spent a considerable amount of time teaching it to students. I have been contemplating why I choose the colors I choose, the textures, or draw lines the way I do. Because my process is...

Oh thanks you all. Honestly it could have been the most scared I had ever been in my life... just because it was *so personal*... but in the end it was like magic, very Squam-like. And I so look forward to you in my class... in a way, counting the days til Fall.

It's hard to resist laying my head on that big ol' fluffy belly! Well, the sun is shining bright right now in Portland so that's enough to make me happy! I also just got back from a wonderful Creative Mornings talk that was super inspiring and hilarious! They're free breakfast lectures by and ...
