both john and I started as visual artists - him a painter and I a sculptor. when we met we both also shared a similar passion for craft and design and formed our business together. I have only been full-time at bookhou since january, before that I taught part-time. it was always my intention to work on the business for part of the year and the other time for my sculptural work - have art exhibits, write grants etc. I havn't had the time - I am determined to make time. I don't know if I showed you this piece before - I made it 5 years ago and it is called "blow up - close up" - it sold at the gallery that represents me in ottawa (gallery st. laurent + hill). I will make time - I will!
I'm so excited to read that you'll be getting more hands to help you in the studio, and am looking forward to seeing the results of the space this creates for you. As ever, I'm in awe. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work glad to hear that you will be making more time to develop your art work as it enriches your life and all your other work too.

your art is what first loved about you
ReplyDeleteway back when I didn't know you at all
and I hope you can find the time to explore
this aspect of your creativity now that you
have some help in the studio/shop
It is so distinctively 'you'! :) Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution this year was to paint at least an hour a day. It really worked for me. I have spent many more hours than that in my studio. I hope you can find a little corner of time to sculpt. Working on my art, for me, is part of feeling whole and happy.
What a great piece! Does Gallery St. Laurent + Hill have other pieces of yours on display?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I love this piece! So detailed and delicate.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a busy lady! Keep up the creating. You are so inspiring.
thanks everyone for the positive response
ReplyDeletenicole - I believe they have a few pieces
but since I've been busy I havn't given them new work.
It is so difficult to be an artist and make money from your art and then also be a mum and wife!We never find time enough for everything and we simply prioritize! I don't worry about you! You are too talented to let it remain in you for too long! I am sure you will find the time!AriadnefromGreece!

ReplyDeleteI wish I could have seen more of your art work when I was there
