Project 52 By Mim


 

Some of you will remember that in 2021 I created a small piece of art every day called the Joy Project.  I had a show in June 2022 to give away many of those pieces, and some that remained are a fundraiser for the White Rabbit Galleries where my studio is located.  I learned a great deal about myself as I took this project on and continued it for a full year.

For 2023 I've decided to take on a different project I'm calling Project 52 By Mim.  I have already selected from a bag of words 52 words, and I have assigned them to the weeks of the year in the order I pulled them out.  Each week I will give my attention to the word, look for quotes and insights, and I will create a piece of art inspired by each word.  Each piece will be created on an 8 x 8 inch canvas and framed.  

I plan to expand this into prints, a new card deck, and maybe even put the art on merchandise.  We will have to see where the year takes us!  Whatever happens I believe we will keep creating and inspiring.

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...
