Aglow with hope

Buttressed by experience, and aglow with hope...

Changes happen when we make room for them.

Love fairies

About a week ago, spring hit New York, and I was so elated I felt as if I could fly away. I started imagining all kinds of things, and invented a new figure - the love fairy, an ever-present yet not always visible guide who will steer me towards a more satisfying relationship than the ones I've had to date.

This is the beginning of an embroidery about love fairies. The base fabric is from a friend, Paula Overbay, who also shows her work at Muriel Guepin Gallery. 

Paula, thanks for the gift. I can't wait to develop this piece more.

Starting Over

Right before the new year, I was graced with 11 consecutive days off from work, during which time I reorganized my apartment and art studio, and worked on my business plan. My theory is that a new space will help lead me further towards the new life I'm seeking. These themes of cleaning and change apply to both my exterior and interior life.

New post-it ideas:

I'm ripping out the seams of my social fabric and starting over.

Our relationship was an empty house I tried to furnish. I supplied two of everything, yet you never moved in.
