62/100 - and then stop. I spent 55 minutes for 62 days in a row working on my art practice. Rekindling the dedication to my passion. I didn’t finish the 100 days, but I did reignite the flow and working new projects into my daily.

“Phoenix Moon Rising” (relief print, 5x5) will be among the work I’ll show at the 37th PRAIRIE ARTS FESTIVAL in Schaumburg - Saturday May 23 - Sunday May 24.

Being able to focus on my art again is such a blessing. Come out and visit if you are in the area.

Collage Sisthars today.
“Teaching IT” with

Here’s a little zine I put together as a crash course to a very elusive concept - composition.

Even after 30 years of work as a designer and many years of art college, composition is still hard to explain. Things that are second-nature often are.

The instruction went well, including a bit of completing each other sentences and good examples, the group walked away with some tangible problem solving techniques.

Week 8 | 55 min - 5x5 - including the 55th day
I was running out of steam and stalling a little on a print I started. So intuitive painting to the rescue. Some of these might be done. Others will mull about when I need a bit of inspiration or get back into flow.
55 minutes daily is quite a commitment. But I’m making it happen.

Happy World Art Day

Week 7 | 55 min - 5 x 5
A lot of sketching and figuring out this week.
Sometimes you have to finish things, or decide to put them on the back burner. This is one of the times I’m still trying to figure it out. But I’m still at it. Day 49. It’s hard to fit it in sometimes. For me, making my art a priority is a practice worth pursuing.

Week 6 | 55 min; 5x5
Playing with some sketches and thoughts from my journey. More personal than previous posts… but working through things as they present themselves.

Also a brief exploration of encaustic to seal some handmade paper embedded with my hair. Interesting see through effect, translucent, creating dimension in the water lilly print.

Just who are the Collage Sisthars?

I’m so grateful for this group of inspiring women. They simultaneously glue me down and let me soar.
