To get in the spirit of childlike wonder, I had a little play time! When was the last time you played with joyful abandon?

Little Five Points

There's nothing like an invigorating walk in an urban area! The street art, the people! There's a lot going on in the world right now, but I'm optimistic! There's so much beauty, whether it's in na...

Fixing my hair

Here's a brief moment of peace.  Just taking the  pins out of my hair before I get to work.  I turned the camera onto myself and thought that you might like to see.

Work in progress

Not on the easel, but a project, none the less. I am making a custom mask with tie dye! Gloves were a bit big for me, and I ultimately ended up a huge mess! This will soak in the dye for 24 hours,...

The beetles are coming along! I'm happy to report that I am keeping it simple. Making marks that represent the abstract shapes that I see is very satisfying!
