Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I have written here. Thats something I’d like to change, its a goal this year to blog more often and more consistently. I think a good way to start would be to give an update on what I’ve been up to. There’s been a lot of textile design going on in my life at the moment. The number of listings in my Etsy store has been growing wonderfully. Right now its a goal to add more of these products to this site....

Earlier in the week I was contacted on my Instagram Account by an account called madeinmeeka. They told me that they were a group working with locals to create community opportunities. They were asking for support in continuing a program so that their remote area artists can continue to make art and share their culture. I had to say I was intrigued. I went to check them out and saw their campaign and I have to say, I liked what I saw. Seriously. Check It Out. Linking again...

On my housemates being Unbelievably Excellent: They banded together and bought me an iPad pro and an apple pencil as an early birthday/Christmas gift – which is just so nice of them that I’m finding it pretty overwhelming. I guess I ought to talk a little bit about my living situation. I’m told that people like to hear Romantic Notions of Artist Life and there’s some of that going on here. I live in a large three story house that is walking distance...

I begun my last blog post with the goal of attempting to show all of the work that goes into producing a single painting, however the background information about the decisions that go into making a body of work became a post all of its own. That post helps show elements that inform the creation of a single piece in a series – and today its time to dig into that single painting – the yellow and purple lavender image displayed at the top of this post. So this...

I’m going to attempt to show some of the process of creation. Its pretty difficult inherently to show everything about how a single piece is made, all the things in the background that exist before the current image can be created – but I thought it would be nice to give an attempt at illustrating what I can. This started off as one post about my lavender imagery but even getting into explaining the background of it was turning into a hefty chunk of information...
