RECENT NEWS
After welcoming our second daughter into our family this year, I’ve finally been able to grasp some dedicated Studio Hours. Before that, I patiently waited for the first sign of “tired baby eyes” and parachuted into my creative mindset at the onset of nap-time. Grabbing an hour here and there, (even still) I unroll my "travel studio" at the table, or next to the stroller, or shoot a few photographs from the car window. In the early days, this past summer, I started my 100 Days of Nap Time Sketches project, which has uncovered a whole new facet to my art practice. It had been decades since I worked with any painting materials, now my interest in water color has grown exponentially… leading into a new body of work that I’m extremely excited about. More news on that should arrive by Summer! In the mean time, please, feel free to spy on my process and real life inspirations through Instagram.
I’m very proud to have been selected into the Alameda County Arts Commission public art registry for consideration in upcoming projects. Designing and installing a public art work is one of my larger studio goals, this is annother step in manifesting that mission.
Next on the Winter into Spring Agenda, setting up a dashboard camera system for a new foggy-day photographing project, those antique printing presses still need assembling, I’d like to get a regular Art Mom’s afternoon tea going and more family sledding day-excursions!
If you find yourself in Oakland this spring please get in touch. I would love to grab a coffee, catch up in the Studio, or meet up at a show.
Warmest Regards!
Karen
