A Show of my work at the Gallery@Spencer Lofts in Chelsea, MA









My first solo show opens in Chelsea, MA this Saturday, September 10th. I've been working on this show for 18 months. I am showing 26 works. I started the project with the idea of doing at least one drawing every day for a year and seeing how it influenced my work. I completed that promise to myself, and right now I'm just glad to be at the end of it! I've learned so much, and I'm pleased with the show. But now I'm ready to start thinking about new work. I love having my studio bare. Today I made some new pieces and it felt so good to start fresh. Not that I ever really start fresh, but something about having something finished is very energizing for me.

    Wow, they all look stunning! I love how they're hung, sparingly, letting the work speak for itself. Well done! Enjoy your time in the studio with the work all away, it does feel good, doesn't it?!
