In the Northeast U.S. we are having a week of glorious weather … a week that has drawn many of us outside to tackle gardens and reconnect with the earth more directly. This little fellow (a bear cub) is also awake and checking out the world. I feel very full of life and energy.

My studio is functional again. The weatherizing is finished and the studio is put back together and spring-cleaned. There a many projects all pulling at me – in all sorts of different directions. I am going to have to prioritze!

Being an artist in the modern world is a juggling act. Of course, there is creating art. That IS why most, if not all, of us started in the first place. Creating needs to continue. Sometimes it is easy for me to get diverted into the business of art.

I have to learn how to move more gracefully between the creative process of art and the art of business.
