Gifts from the Lake

 

For most of my adult life I have been enamored with Lake Erie.  It’s both moody and playful.  Its gentle ebb calms my anxious mind.  This magic was especially poignant during the pandemic, as I would make quick trips to the shores and accept whatever gifts the lake offered.  Most often I found her returning objects once discarded by humans but now imbued with an aged patina that was beautiful and gracious.  It is from these found objects that I have created a series of serene and meditative work.


These pieces are currently on display in my studio inside White Rabbit Gallery, 571 W. Tuscarawas Ave., Barberton

Simple Wonders: Looking Toward 2024

Image
  As I review the past year or so, I know that I took an approach toward art and life of throwing everything up on the wall and seeing what would stick.  I tried many different things.  I put many different offerings into the world.  I ran from one thing to another.  It has been exhausting and honestly unfulfilling.  It's difficult to acknowledge that I'm putting a creative part of myself out into the world, and there are no takers.  I know something has to change, but it takes time to pause, evaluate, and reset.  I'm trying to do some of that right now. In 2024, it is my intention to seek and share what I'm titling "Simple Wonders."  These are the sorts of things that are around us every single day, but in our busy-ness of running after more, more, more (you fill in the blank for whatever you are pursuing--education, relationship, money, career, fitness, a portfolio of work, connection, family, creativity--whatever your thing or things might...
