why I'm busy

It is almost May.

This year is flying

and some opportunities are happening.

I am showing paintings at Burton Jewelers through the year

and I'll be at First Friday Art Walk May 1 from 5-8pm

I change out the work occasionally

small things

Brooches, Kathleen Faulkner

It started as a lark.

Sculpture was no longer easy for me because

I wanted to make large work.

I ended up making tiny objects. 

And I'm ok with that.

 

Night Light

It is winter now, and the nights are long.

The darkness sometimes feels like a way to escape the business of living, moving, bustling.

I do my most focused work in the early morning.

still so dark

Maybe the darkest bit of the long night.
