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!

    way 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

  5. It is so distinctively 'you'! :) Beautiful.

    My 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.

  9. 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!
