I just moved into my new studio space July 1. Located in rural Shelburne, a dairy barn converted into studio spaces for visual artists and sculptors. There are twelve of us and plans underway for a grand opening event in october!

Most of July was spent moving stuff out of storage and setting up the studio space, getting reacquainted with my artwork and figuring out what I want to work on next. My summer has been about logistics [annoyingly so] Ahh, but here I am in this wonderful studio space for the next year.

I have done stitched drawings in the past [a series of routes/trails on 22x30 inch paper]. These new pieces are 4×6 inches on this luscious fabriano paper. I am playing around with combining drawings and stitching. I’m very much in process on this new series and would love to hear any feedback, reaction, comments. etc.

I also dabble in book arts from time to time. I like unusual/functional book structures I made the cover of this portfolio book by printing out a digital photograph on white cotton fabric with my inkjet printer [an idea I’ve been thinking about for awhile, essentially, I am designing my own fabric} While nature is a turn on some of the digital media accessible today is really exciting too!!
