Family Promise Mural

Happy New Year and Happy Friday! I hope this finds you well. As we move forward from last year, with all its uncertainties and the time apart, I've been thinking a lot about the space between... the calm and the clouds, the light and the dark. This is the place where (when conditions are just right) the rainbow happens and where we gain new perspectives and rays of colorful wisdom.

I'm entering 2021 feeling even more grateful for all I have... the big and the small. For each breath and hug. For the ability to be creative and make things. The year ended with the beautiful opportunity to create an optimistic mural at Family Promise of WNY. I loved the time I was able to spend with the kids there and I'm so thankful that this organization exists in our community. The little girl below decided she was my supervisor on the project and encouraged me each day. So sweet! ❤️

I spent much of last year working on my creative business... way more time doing the left brain work than creative work! Those steps, like establishing an LLC, have laid the groundwork for me to focus on making this year and I’m very excited about that! We are spending the Buffalo winter hibernating and I am happily diving in to the studio to play. I have a big list of projects that I can't wait to dig in to. I also have two mural projects lined up for this year and am interested in adding a few more... reach out if you have a wall to paint!

Still TBD if I will jump on board for this year's 100 Day Project, which starts at the end of January. I'm planning to reach out a little more frequently and send a monthly newsletter in 2021 so I'll let you know in a few weeks! I'll be posting about it on instagram, I'm sure.
