Like many people, this year we stayed home. As a mother of a young kid, this meant hours conducting homeschool, cleaning a messier than usual house, and having little or no time for my own pursuits. (I do have friends that juggled this all and were still productive. How?!) Over the past few months things have started to return to normal. I have studio days again and have begun a new series. It’s hard to explain the new work while it’s in process- but generally I’m working with shaped panels, handmade paper, and encaustic. I’ve been looking at images of light- fire, sunsets, reflections after the rain.
