It's late....

or early...depending on which end you're on. Each week seems to be longer than the last.

Trying to get back on track....

Saturday Nights In.

I bought a strand of elephants made of shiny fabrics, ribbon & yarn pom poms when I was in St. Marteen last summer. Tonight I felt the need to remind myself that art is fun.

A small gouache painting. 

My roommate & I moved our desks out into the living room which is wonderful. Now, on my days off I wake up & am able to leave my bedroom until going back to sleep. It feels like a luxury! 

Fairy Tale illustrations coming soon!!

Sooner than I thought....1

My mom is great. She was super excited to be joining in on the music on 34th Street- Herald Square!!

& a little preview:)

My how time flies.

A whole lot is happening, none of which seemed to make it's way here. Trial & error. Some good has come. Some has gone off to a hidden file in my computer to most likely never be seen again. I suppose that's what learning is about...

In other news, my mom & my godmother came this past weekend, which was absolutely wonderful. We went to see the musical "Sessions" ((Charming & affordable with a student discount!!:) )) & made Baklava Sunday morning before they left! If I see you in the near future, remind me to bring you a piece!!

Silkscreened book will be up soon!! Perhaps some figure drawings too, just for fun. 

Alas!!

My actual website is finally up & running!!

So!

Take a look.

Share your thoughts.

Your opinions.

Your concerns!

& enjoy:)

"We Have Chosen Hope Over Fear."

The world has been buzzing!!

I rolled out of bed & onto the couch this morning to watch the inauguration. 

Coffee, english muffin, a warm blanket & the much anticipated new president!!

All is going well at John Robshaw ((so thinks I)). I'm trying to get better aquatinted with the fast pace- people complain about producing 8 sketches in a week, but in the real world, people do 10x that in a day. It keeps you on your toes, that's for sure! & I truely don't mind it:) Everyone is so kind & incredibly patient, so I'm quite grateful. The big textile fair is coming up- all the designers bring their new lines & the vendors come to peruse the goods for the stores. The wonderful people at John Robshaw have gotten me a pass. I don't know that I've ever been so eager for a 7am-10pm Moday!!

Printing on Thursday morning!! My mom kindly took a trip to the post office with my silkscreen, so it should be here just in time!

In the meantime, feeling slightly uninspired at home & need to get the ball rolling. Or step on the gas. Or find a mechanical carrot. But alas, I've finally gotten started & that is the hardest part. SVA honored Martin Luther King Day, so portfolio class will require two weeks worth of work by our next meeting. Slowly but surely...I'm okay with being locked up in the apartment/studio until then.

****& if you're in New York, I HIGHLY recommend you hit up the mOma. There is a great video installation filling three huge walls, complete with a round couch in the middle & music to zone out to. I'm headed back this week (fingers crossed). 

Something Wonderful.

I'm thrilled to say this coming semester has a new addition:)

I will be doing an independent study with John Robshaw & others at John Robshaw Textiles starting next week!! His creations are beautiful & I'm so honored to be allowed a part in such an environment.

I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about this semester & graduation.

In with the new & an ode to the old

A birthday commission for some fellow Astorians!


And, alas, I have FINALLY uploaded individual images of my Houdini Tarot cards from my thesis last year. Instead of adding all 22 here, I've made a folder on my other site so take a look if you'd like!!

One more week of vacation, then it's back to the grind that will wholeheartedly include figuring out what happens in May.
Until then, I've enjoyed family, friends & now more of New York. 

Amazing how quickly this season comes & goes...

Happy New Year, all :)
