These are some paintings in progress I worked on at the end of the summer/beginning of fall. None of them are finished at all, but the top one is probably the closest. The artwork I have been doing lately seems a bit more intuitive/impulsive and less conceptually driven than in the past. I consider design, composition, color, and leave the rest to the part of me that is smarter than my everyday self. I think if I work this way for awhile, I will get an idea of where I want to take my work and bring more intentionality back into it.
Soon I am going up to Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan to work for awhile. I will have time and space to focus on making artwork and writing poems. I can't wait. I am looking forward to lots of snow, learning to snowboard or ski, and staying in. Sitting by the fire, reading lots, drinking hot chocolate.
This will be a good year. I have no resolutions as such, but do intend to be very productive.

new
silver beach
These are photos of my grandparents and my mom's family from 1966. I love the colors and clothing and poses. Somehow candids taken today just don't capture life quite the same way.

broadside
This is the completed broadside I did for the poetry reading at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center. The poets all signed the broadside too, but that's not pictured here.
