Welcome to my simple white studio which contains the family piano I have played all my life, a swing, and space where I paint.
The studio is just to the right of our entry
and because of the high ceilings, I love the acoustics.
I am rarely joined by anyone in the studio as it
is where I retreat to create and dream.
I painted the Ikea swing because those formerly red
plastic rings were just killing me.
The 87 piece is symbolic of the risk my sister and I
had of developing breast cancer before we opted
for preventative bilateral mastectomies.
The prints tacked to the framed canvases are by
Lovisa Burfitt.
I love working with black and white paint.
The other colors mysteriously make me nervous.
Feel free to shrink me all day long.
I paint in silence, and I am completely relaxed
and confident as I do so...it is only paint after all.
I'm a messy artist too, just covered from head to toe
because like a child, I get lost in the flow
and don't worry a bit about the consequences.
This week I have spent a ton of time at the piano writing
some cool new stuff that I hope to record this summer.
I'm a horrible player, but I can sing and write.
Thanks for stopping by!
My studio is always welcome to artists
who need a tranquil getaway and soft light.
I have some wonderful hometown heroes to
share with you soon so stay tuned!
Peace to you right where you are.
