Happy Birthday To Me



Happy Birthday to me!  I am a person who enjoys celebrating another trip around the earth, but this year it's hard to believe that I have completed 55 trips!  55!  That sure does sound older than I feel, even on creaky mornings!

This year I am planning a year of simple wonders and traveling adventures.  I'm hoping that my art friends, followers, and patrons {who have come through with so much love and support for me} will join me in preparing.

I'm inviting you to celebrate with me.  On January 19 and 20, I am hosting a pop up show of 38 square pieces I created in 2023.  Square and Sublime--they are experimental and mostly abstract.  Each piece was inspired by a single word.  Most pieces have a little story--a few sentences about how I interpreted that word.  Each piece is a 8 x 8 canvas in a black frame.  For just this special weekend I will be offering each piece for $55.  (After this weekend, any remaining pieces will be $65.)  All of the proceeds from this show will go to supporting my travel and adventures for this year.

I hope you will join me to see the show, even if you're not in the market for art.  White Rabbit Galleries, the host of my studio, have a show opening, so there will be loads of lovely art to enjoy.  It's the sort of show that's great for families, and it's all free to see!  I imagine this will be quite a delightful party.

My studio is well stocked with a wide variety of other original art, art prints, greeting cards, and earrings.

I will be posting a preview here on the evening of January 18.  I will be in my studio Friday, 5 - 8 p.m., and Saturday for yoga and then 1 - 5 p.m.

Welcome 2024: Renewed Yoga Offerings

Image
  Full moon over fields 4x5 inches, acrylic on canvas The new year is filled with optimism and hope and possibilities.  A goal I have for this year is to build a larger and more interactive community around my passions of art, education yoga and hiking.  I'm not clear on all the pragmatic applications, but I am clear that this is a path forward that we can share.  I will be providing opportunities for us to gather and grow together. The first opportunity I'm bringing forward is a renewal of my yoga offerings.  I would like to expand this very loyal micro-community, so that we can share the benefits of this gentle hatha style yoga with more human beings.  In the process I'm certain we will also deepen the benefits for ourselves. Consider this your special invitation from me to you! Thursday evening, 7 p.m. is a good hour of mindful movement geared at breathing in and out with our whole being to release tension and stress and expand flexibility of movement and thinking. Satur

A Creative Challenge For The New Year

Image
A bit of verdigris, 12 x 12 inches, $60 In my creative process I can easily get lost in the vast realm of possibility.  It turns into a paralyzing inertia, and I cease to create.  In an effort to override this I give myself creative challenges.  I creating every day or once a week.  I use words for inspiration.  I work in a particular size.  You get the idea. I have decided that for 2024, I am going to see how much I can create with the supplies I already have.  I imagine I will need more acrylic paint,  and I hope to need more findings for earrings.  Other than those 2 items I'm going to see how much I can create with the materials I already have.I hope to document how much art I can create without buying any other materials! I hope you will follow along on this little challenge.  Will I give up in the first few weeks?  How will this impact my creativity and art making? How to you overcome inertia?  What sort of challenges do you give yourself?
