Every time I have the opportunity to leave town and take a break of some kind, there’s a detachment process from my office, studio, and practice.

I am unplugging, which feels uncomfortable at first, until suddenly it’s a wonderful relief.

There is joy in finding a new direction in my work.

I’ve spent the past 6 months working on my painting practice, doing my best to trust, and to allow the new imagery to show up. It won’t show up if I don’t, and so I have a regular painting practice.
