This Holiday Season is most assuredly a time for reflection. 2020, the year of  pandemic and isolation, has nonetheless been a productive year for me: in mid-June, I embarked on a 6-month self-challenge to create a small drawing everyday.

While not a huge stretch for many artists, I felt a need to refocus, prioritize production and commit to solidifying my artistic voice. These past months have given me much more than I could've anticipated: not only a body of work, several series and numerous springboards for future projects, but a deep sense of confidence and insight.

I've selected a few pieces from this journey, and look forward to sharing additional selections as this collection grows (279 and counting!).

Sending out prayers of love and health to you, and my fervent wish for a creative and healthy 2021.

Starfield

This Moment


3AM anxieties give way to morning sunshine 
and the plaintive mewing of my feline companions.

Friday has dawned amid
challenges,
frustration, 
and fear

Yet,
I am suffused by a touch of grace:
hot soup for breakfast,
a window sill of sprouting lettuce leaves straining toward the light,
and my love, softly snoring in the next room.
I am fueled by and filled with 
Gratitude.
