The Goat Girl

I took an amazing class about the history of fairy tales with Maria Manhattan the first half of this semester as part of the "Senior Series". Seven weeks was certainly not enough time, but we enjoyed ourselves, regardless.

The final week we all presented two of our own illustrations for tales we picked.

Seafoam Walls..

Our workspace!! Having an art area separate from your bedroom, without having to trek into the studios in the city is quite amazing.

Even better, ((though this was taken late at night)), the light that comes in from the two windows & two skylights, in addition to the light that radiates off our crazy colored walls, is an instant pick me up:)

Memories of St. Martin

I'm trying to figure out if spring break actually occurred, but either way, it's back to the grind!

Less than two months now until graduation.

I am in dire need of a break from school.

Snow Day!

I woke up at 8am to the doorbell- a few guys were going around offering to shovel. 

I don't think I've EVER seen so much snow in New York City!! 

For the first time in four years- SVA called off everything.

I was looking forward to sitting in on Steve Gaffney's figure drawing class, but there's always next time, because I'm certainly not going to complain about the opportunity to sleep in.

Art has been funny lately. I've gone back to patterns mimicking objects . I'm not sure how I feel about things at the moment, but I need to have something tangible, not just in a computer screen, so this is satisfying me for now.

I also went to visit the showroom at Stark Carpet -Old World Weavers this past week. It was enlightening, inspiring & just such a pleasant experience. Everyone was so wonderfully kind & supportive.
