Alter

I stood in a chapel last night for a meeting about my wedding. It's a small, beautiful, old, warm place. As we turned to leave I was struck by the evening's summer light coming in through one of the many stained glass windows. Some chord deep within me was struck.

 I'm finally allowing myself to start a much awaited series conveying hard, sometimes painful but transformative experiences with a concept based on iconic art and church history.  (My reliquaries) it was quite fitting to be so struck in such a place.

Open studio

A couple of weeks ago my studio was a part of the Chester county open studio tour. I have taken part in this event for the past 5 years. It's an event that I very much look forward to and work hard in anticipation of. This year did not dissapoint!
I had a great turn out, a positive response to my work and a good ammount of sales. I was very pleased and grateful. If you were among those who came by- thank you!!!

There is something very special about having people interact with my work in the space where it was created. 

Since then, I've been working hard at tackling the not so fun to-do's besides just creating my work. Once I finally finish my taxes (having gotten an extension) in the next couple of days, I will gladly be back hard at work in the studio. There is a series that I've been dying to start for almost a year now... I've been amassing the materials and I am finally going to let myself work on it. Stay tuned for the Reliquary series.
