To tell the whole story would be wrong because it isn’t entirely my own, but after a rough few days at work this was a sweet reminder to always appreciate the little things. PSA: when a small child offers to show you, let alone share, the fruits of their labor always say “yes” and “thank you”

My positive version of FAFO (for some time now) the backdrop and inspiration was Crash Test Dummies : God Shuffled His Feet which has been fitting on so many levels.

Feeling miffed, spent all evening cobbling together info on fragrance/chemical sensitivity, reacting to a reaction at work. Then reminded myself it’s St Patrick’s day, not feeling all that lucky but am lucky enough to at least have some Tully…

Started today bemused and then amused by my “British” gps saying Ni instead of NY. Ended today demanding actual representation and leadership from @chuckschumer.com. Really wish a shrubbery would suffice.

Listening to the Hip and winding down. There will never be another like Gord Downie. Beyond nostalgic and sickened with the state of things. Just a Buffalo gal wishing she was Canadian, more now than ever.

Did a few of these but this was my favorite, was playing at expressing darker things through a layered process. Touched upon sugar coating, self harm and Rorschach.

Documentary hails the visionary genuis of Douglas Adams: Sky to air The Man Who Imagined Our Future

Past piece, a special request from a friend much like my first post. The highs and lows of working on Holden (not an official title, just the natural name to use when having words with this piece). Even the most frustrating moments were a relief during a rough time.

It’s been a while, too long really, since I’ve let myself play, enjoy the process and just create. New platform, past piece…#processart#abstract#mixedmedia
