in the studio today

For the last two days, I’ve been fighting a cold.  It’s the first time since coming to Vancouver that I’ve gotten a cold– I blame it on the weather going from see-my-own-breath cold to I-can-wear-flip-flops warm.
Regardless, I knew if I wanted to make the most of my break from classes, I had better get in [...]

in the studio today

This is new piece I worked on all day today in the studio.  I attempted to create a pseudo-landscape by using book covers and threaded spines as the land, and a dried hydrangea (resembling a tree) growing out from it.
While I’m content with this piece for now, I hope to push this concept further in [...]

New Year, new aesthetic

2010 looks to be a promising year of growth, artistically.  Judging by the work I produced in the last 2 weeks, my work seems to be heading in a more sculptural direction, and my aesthetic is changing into a more simplified, organic color palette with stylized ink drawings, layered translucent dress patterns, pantyhose and book [...]

full head and happy heart

I just got back from a conference entirely on encaustic painting.  It was a whirlwind: 36 hours spent in the car with my best friend in the world (other than my husband of course) – Kathryn, and hours and hours and hours of wax madness.  Needless to say, for many reasons, my head is full [...]

For All It’s Worth

 
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how little I really know about love, grace, truth, beauty, etc.  So I’ve been working on a new series of paintings called For All It’s Worth.  Each painting focuses on a word and several visual elements, interconnected with dotted lines and circles.  It’s crazy to me that I [...]
