Spring Newsletter

"Figure Study (high heels)"

The PS Art Projects inaugural newsletter is almost ready to fly! It will include new artworks and exciting special deals for my subscribers. On left is a preview of the new work. If you would like to receive my announcements please sign up via the below link.

On a different note, it is definitely springtime in Chicago - my allergies are at an all time high. I am thankful today for lots of benadryl and my neti pot.

Fresh Start

The first week in my new adventure began with a computer virus that devastated my system. Seemed like a bad omen. I was not happy. I had to set my computer back to its factory settings. Around a hundred and fifty windows updates later and with all my programs reinstalled I realized that I felt free. I was starting with a perfectly clean slate. Everything prior to last week had been cleared away. I now have room for a fresh start.

My studio is in a similar state. For a year I have been clearing every unused or unwanted object to make space for new work. This is not painless. I have attachments to these things. There is a reason I collected them in the first place. I look at an antique crutch or a cooler full of beeswax and am sure I will think of a brilliant way to use them. I had a five year rule - if I have not used the item in five years then I should get rid of it. After five years that turned into a ten year rule and so on. I do not like to be parted from my stuff. I have discovered, however, that accumulating clutter of any kind impedes my growth.

New in the Studio

"Study 12"

For the past 9 years I have been working a full time job and making my artwork at night and on the weekends. Most artists need to live this way to survive and after a while it's exhausting. Today I'm making a change to full-time artist. I am giving myself the gift of time. Time to focus on my art practice. Time to put my energy towards developing ideas. Time to grow. Time to find out where the work will take me next.

I'm an abstract painter and I love color, shape, and gestural mark making. Here we go!
