2024 Reflections

A commitment to growth

The past few months have been a season of exploration and growth in my creative journey. I've been experimenting with new techniques and learning more about my craft, allowing myself the freedom to create without the confines of labels or expectations I once placed on myself. It feels liberating to step away from fitting into boxes and simply embrace the process of making art for the joy of it.

For now, I’m taking a break from working larger markets to dedicate more time in the studio. While I may return to Forsyth Park toward the end of the month, my current focus is on nurturing my creativity and diving deeper into my work.

Part of this exploration includes venturing into new mediums. I’ve started a ceramics wheel class, which has been an exciting (and humbling!) experience, and I’m also revisiting collage techniques that I haven’t explored in years. These new practices are teaching me patience, sparking fresh ideas, and reminding me of the endless possibilities within the world of art.

As I continue this path of growth and discovery, I’m grateful for your support and for the opportunity to share these moments with you. Here's to creating without boundaries and finding beauty in the unexpected!
