The naivete dilemma. I want to be pure, idealistic, and full of wonder. And yet.....

Back in studio after a much too long hiatus. It's been a messy fall. The things I thought I understood where tossed in the air, upheaval and change, and so many highs and lows. Coming into the studio this morning felt like Coming home. Finally, some peace.
Unfortunately we are living in chaotic, violent, cruel times. The only thing I can offer as a salve is a little tenderness. Try it won't you?

Tomorrow (Wednesday)! Join me and this fantastic cohort for a panel discussion moderated by Maggie Borowitz and Frances Lee as we discuss the beautifully curated show at @tsa_chi . Zoom link in bio!!
These early sunsets have been making it hard for me to get to studio (aka leave my couch) so I've been crafting these little ditties in watercolor and collage from the hermit cave.
