It has been a busy week - all of my different student groups are starting new lessons from Southwest Native American-inspired paper mache bowls to magnified single-object still life drawings. I'm excited to see how the new projects go, but it makes for scarce and precious studio time!

March's Studio newsletter will be out soon - sometime this week! Above is a sneak peek of the free desktop calendar download.

Today I had a chance to attend a one day "crash course" on Photoshop and Lightroom. It was helpful in so many ways and I think it has opened doors to some new ways for me to create while exploring the same processes and visual vocabulary of architecture. At left is my first experiment with this digital collaging; a little rough and unresolved but my head is full of more ideas than I know what to do with.

Taking advantage of the Presidents' Week school break to get some studio work done! I've been moving a few pieces along, shooting finished work to list in my Etsy store, and working on a soon-to-be-available email list!

Art Trip - Williams College and MASS MoCA

Lots of ideas rumbling around my head after today's trip to the Williams College Museum of Art and to MASS MoCA - such a great variety of quality work today.

My favorites from Williams were a 1912 painting by Robert Lee MacCameron and a pair of mask-like salvage/waste material sculptures by Romauld Hazoume.

At MASS MoCA, a massively-scaled photographic print on wood by Clifford Ross came in close second to the installations and work of Jim Shaw - loved the mix of ideas and the well-done large installations and paintings.
