Dec 2022: Wintering

Winter is here! We had our first little bit of snow at least, and I feel the shift in my body - dark, short days, and the pull to be inside, in the warmest spot I can find. I'm noticing the way my approach to making art changes throughout the

Nurturing our inspiration

I think of inspiration as the pleasure and energy we feel sometimes in making art. It's also the ability to remember/anticipate that feeling before we start. While it is just one of many emotional states that we can make art from, it is admittedly, the sweetest. I don't think

October 2022: The Inspiration Ecosystem

I like to think of inspiration as an ecosystem instead of a light that turns on and off or a magic that comes and goes. It's a spacious, complex and living thing that pulls together all of our own ideas and experiences with the things we've seen and been impacted

Developing an idea: making 3 abstract diagrams

In my first two posts this month I've written in depth about how my editing process allows me to have protected self-expressive space to create and then revisit it and transform it into something that I can share with others or even sell. Here's a look at taking some 3

Instagram: Numbers & Boundaries

In my process of preparing for this month's first post, I ended up writing my history with Instagram and growing my account as my practice evolved into a business, making note of the ideas that have helped me along the way. While it isn't a direct answer to JC's question,

Sept 2022: Art + Online, Part I

Earlier this summer, I read this thoughtful question from JC in our Discord and I've been cooking up a response now for a long time. Here's what she wrote: I'm here to try to learn to enjoy art for its own sake, reveling in the journey, not focusing on the

Go Big

When I started mark making I was so protective of my supplies that I would only make tiny things. I would cut my paper up into little squares, and tape off every sketchbook page into six small spaces. I loved making small things, and they are still my go-to thing

Aug 2022: Gazing

Last month I wrote to you about how my creative process was in a swing toward the inhale side of things - it felt quiet, receptive, dormant. I wrote about beginning, again, which is the natural rhythm of things and the most important skill an artist can have. But even
