Welcome 2012 and a feature...

I can't tell you how excited I am for this year.

In my 5.5 years of being a mother, it's all finally getting a little bit more organized.

Next week I return to my studio.

I've been finishing off a few to-do's around the house this week and this weekend we'll finish the last of our de-cluttering and organizing tasks.

I've got some art goals to reach but my goal is to keep them flexible.

My main goal is to sketch or draw every day, even if it's for 15 minutes.

My focus will be on skull and bone studies.

Secondary to that, I have a short term goal of 2 painting sessions weekly. Which doesn't sound like much, but considering how slammed I've been with graphics work, that has consumed every minute of my day, evening and even the wee hours of the morning, it's an improvement.

As I have slowdowns in work, I will increase when possible.

So my return will be slow but hopefully methodical.

To kick off the year, I'm happy to link to a lovely Artist Feature written about my work, with a focus on my brush use by Dynasty Brush (follow this link to read the article).


It was so kind of them, and quite honestly, made me feel pretty good considering I was somewhat unproductive in 2011.

It's good to have a plan... and yours sounds like a great one. Staying flexible as we walk the line between careers is a necessity. Happy Painting in 2012!

Oh, and very nice article!

Thanks R! It's hard when deadlines are always looming, but I'm determined.
