For thinking out loud
If every moment spent in the studio is considered “precious” and rare, the product of each moment spent is then expected to be of excellence. That allows no time or space for improvisation. Improv is when real art happens: when skill and the freedom to get lost (and perhaps fail) meet and create.

About

This blog serves as an online sketch book, recording my progress as a studio artist. My goal is for this sketch book to be fluid and organic in nature rather than following a strict, linear progression of my work. Currently I am working on a series which focuses on women’s issues. Through the expression of painting and drawing, compositions frame aspects of being a modern female that I find compelling.

Follow my progress as I work in my studio. And any thoughts, ponders or musings from followers are always welcome!
