It’s been cathartic to spend time in the studio, allowing myself time to create… to focus. I’m working towards doing a show, so it’s important for me to do what feels right after a tough personal loss this year. My last major life-change, going from full-time work to self-employment, was precipitated by doing what felt right in my life at THAT point of my life. I started my own marketing business called Elements Marketing, named because, at its base, was what was fundamentally important to living a fulfilling life with my young family.

For my first art show, I am at a similar crux. What’s fundamental to happiness for all of us? Again, it boils down to nature’s elements and our connection to each other and our environment. My first show will too be based on the 5 Elements. I’m enjoying my direction and feeling better again. Thank you to the many people who’ve been supportive of me after my loss a few months ago.
