My First Artist Residency...in Italy!

This summer I was lucky enough to attend my first artist residency. High on a hill above the ancient Valle Camonica in the town of Cividate Camuno in Lombardy, surrounded by the majestic embrace of the Italian Alps, stands RUC. This mystical place is an ancestral home where artists from all over the world come to work in and be inspired by nature and history.

October Mood Board

This month I'm all about that dark olive/hunter green with a touch of brassy peach and of course, lots of depth and texture.  Lately I'm using a lot of these tones in my original paintings and in my wardrobe.

Embracing Dualities and How I Think When I Think About Art

Embracing Dualities and How I Think When I Think About Art

I’ve been thinking about my tendency to try to convince myself that I shouldn’t be nervous about a situation. I want to own my feelings and let myself experience whatever I need to experience so why block myself from important emotions? Well, experimenting is an important part of my art practice and as someone who is usually nervous about and overthinking on all the things, this idea of embracing all the feelings (especially the hard ones) has finally made its way into other areas of my life. What a concept! The freedom!
