It is essential for me to create time to play in the studio. To go into the studio with no plan, no perceived notion of what you want to work on, or even what medium you’re going to play with and have a great sense of awe. It is a time of no judgement orContinueContinue reading “Studio Play”

Life continually remind us of those lessons we have yet to learn. I was recently reminded once again not to live life inside of my comfort zone. Our greatest triumphs and growth is found when we walk outside of our comfort zone and explore possibilities. I recently undertook a new project. It started as aContinueContinue reading “Outside My Comfort Zone”

Solo Exhibition
I remember the first time I put my work on exhibit, it can be such a vulnerable place. So many thoughts went through my head: Will people like your work? Will it be rejected or criticized? I think all very human reactions to putting yourself out there. I have a different perspective these days. IContinueContinue reading “Solo Exhibition”

Dragonfly Exposure
Onto the photo emulsion project. For this project we had to do a design with at least two photo emulsion exposures. I decided on a dragonfly theme for this project. I wanted to project to have multiple design elements. The dragonflies would be the primary elements but I also wanted to work with layering, incorporatingContinueContinue reading “Dragonfly Exposure”
