drawing on experience

i'm doing my

home work...

… and I want to share it with you!  National Handwriting Day is January 23.  Between now and then, all my cards are 40% off!

 

I draw what I think and see.  It's sort of like scribing and a little like painting. 

​

Perseverance.  Left practically speechless by the severity of the last 12 months, I stumble forward, missing you all.   I'm awakened to the deeper struggles of our culture. 

​

There is a lot to do to keep ourselves and each other safe and warm.  Breathe.  Make beauty in your life.  Give whatever you can.  Wear your mask.

what i'm working on

It’s a dance of chance now in the pandemic times.  Studio time is structured in four areas of study:  taming my thoughts into 8 paneled quaranzines, finding voice and music in some translations by Rilke,  sending my children’s book ideas into the world, and keeping a writing/radio practice.  The only real method I know is to show up and work.
