I took care of my artist self and was well rewarded! I went to the local Sketch Meet, organized by a fellow alum, and it was fantastic. A room full of people there for no other purpose than to draw. So we drew, drew all at the same table, drew in chairs around this table, and drew in tables next to this table. It was a mini draw-a-thon. The Octobeak is the result of my creative energies. He is the king of this rock! *Originally published on Tumblr, 2013.

The warm textural embrace upon my feet. Meeting the day as it softly wisps my hair across my cheek. Breathe into the glory of being at the edge, the edge of something. This is where I hope to land. A little morning art & self-motivation today. *Exhale*
I always forget how hard it is to be an artist, sometimes. To keep moving, to keep making art, to keep creating, to keep the doubters at bay, to keep keepin’ on. I <3 how art can transform our experience and take us to our favorite places. I had no idea what would come out of this photograph, until I started experimenting and playing with it in a photo editor. Funny how play brings us to what we need. This is an image altered with a photo filter. One filter and what was a photograph of random paint on a canvas, sitting on top of a drop cloth on my porch, became an early morning, stormy beach!!! *Originally published on Tumblr, 2012. A little mesmerizing drawing today on much loved graph paper. Sometimes I enjoy the intense planning. Sometimes I need to exhaust the restlessness by marathon coloring in squares. Art is so closely tied to life itself that to separate one from the other is only possible in the product, never the process.
