Now that the holiday whirliwind is over, I am committing to daily drawing. Here are the first drawings of 2012:
This is a portrait from memory, drawn in a coffee shop. I’m not actually very good at drawing from memory and much prefer a model in front of me, so it’s a stretch for me.
We took the dogs for a walk, and my kids all took a moment to pose. I’m at the end of this moleskine notebook, so the sketch in the upper right is a yoga pose I drew in an attempt to explain something to my husband.

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.
