It’s been six weeks since we’ve been quarantined and I’m feeling lucky for the privilege of being able to stay home. With everything happening in the world I know that art is not a priority for people. We are completely consumed with the news and the reality of our situation across the globe but I would argue that we need art now more than ever. We need to see things that make us feel something other than panic and fear and so we need to create and see things that will take us to far away places in our imaginations. For me personally it’s been an emotional rollercoaster thinking about everything that is happening, feeling the loss of so many people around the globe, and having so many drastic changes to my home and work life.

Why a Visual Journal is a Must in my Creative Process and Daily Routine
If there is one routine and creative process that shapes my entire studio practice it is my discipline with my visual journal. I keep a notebook journal where I write down my thoughts almost daily and I have a visual mood board where I hang photos, magazine cutouts and basically anything else that I find that is currently inspiring me. But the most important aspect of my studio practice is the work that I do in notebooks each and every day.
