Happy Sat 👋🏻 Must say while it was a bit of a hard week, the familiarity of making work, air hugs, and ramen to-go helped loads (um hello @ramentatsu_ya.) Also so thankful for the hero of a crew that helped move me into my new apt! Amazing what can still be done during this time.

Turn Left. 18x24. A reminder we don’t have to always take the same route or paths that are already laid out. Instead of always turning right, we can go left anytime we want.

It’s been incredible to see how resilient our art community here has been. Coming together not just to talk logistics, but about everything from what it’s like to (or not to) make work during this time, to extra snacks we buy ☺️ So thankful for the coming togetherness instead of staying apartness that can sometimes be found in art circles.

I’m generally used to working larger but actually didn’t feel cramped at all when I went to make this work at the specified max size of 12x12. More small works coming soon ☺️ Artwork: “Everything is ok.” 2019. Inquiries by DM.

🌟 Off to gallery sit today! Last time I met a wonderful character of a gentleman who helped start the underground art movement in New York, and was an art critic for The Austin Chronicle. He said something I haven’t stopped thinking about. 🌟 He said he’d always go twice to a show: first at the opening and then when the crowd was gone. It let him see the works that were overshadowed by the flashier ones. While easiest to see at first, the louder ones lost their impact the second time around. 🌟 Was fun to have words put to something I had noticed as well. And a great reminder that it isn’t just about doing a song and dance bc others are, but saying and doing what’s true to you. Those are the things that last.

From juried shows to a record-breaking EAST Austin

From juried shows to a record-breaking EAST Austin Studio Tour to new collectors and a surprise feature in The Austin Chronicle, this year was more than I could’ve asked for!
So thankful for the unique collaborative spirit that marks our artistic community. See you all next year 😉 First and last photo courtesy of Big Medium.
