I love tiny things… especially tiny art. Recently, I was invited to be part of the Enormous Tiny Art Show #35 with Nahcotta gallery in Portsmouth, NH. This wonderfully fun exhibit is filled with art of all kinds that is… of course, tiny. The works are available both in-person and online, and each piece is no bigger than 10x10 inches. That’s a lot of creative energy in a small package!

I’ve started truly following what excites me more and more… leaning in to making art in unison with nature. Focusing on that beautiful sort of communion and honoring of the natural world I love so deeply. I’m creating eco-prints and cyanotypes - ways to use plant matter to create beautiful, dreamy prints. I’m making more ceramic work and experimenting always with ways I can incorporate natural objects into the process.

I’ve spent so many years with this dream on a shelf. For most of my twenties, I quit making art altogether. I went and got a sensible job and had an okay life, really… but there sat that little girl in me, on the sidelines, feeling like all her dreams were forgotten, and none of her ideas were important. Yearning for someone to believe in her. I wish I’d known then just how much I ignored her, but that’s how it happens sometimes. Then came his death. Just before my 30th birthday, suddenly. It was a pain so big that it came exploding out of me in art.
