End-of-year reflections from the studio, thoughts on slowing down, and new art releases including a limited edition print and fine art greeting cards.

Learning, Growing, and Letting Go The paintings have left the studio—today, they were collected by the gallery, and they’re now out of my hands. This part, I love: the letting go, letting them fly free! When I was asked by one of my galleries 6-7 months ago if I’d like to do a solo show, I was beyond excited. I hadn’t been with this gallery long, so the fact that they had faith in me as an artist meant everything. Despite years of exhibiting, I’d never had a solo show, and th
