resurrection

 A new job, Spring, getting a little energy back.... thinking about getting back to wax and carving.. Thinking about what is next and how to move forward. How to feel visible and creative... more to come....


This past Winter, much to my chagrin I came to accept that it was physically impossible for me to not only make new work but also to maintain my work in the shop and Foundry Lane in Portland, and thrive in my new position as the Palliative Care Access RN at MGH.  Then there is the mom and wife pieces of life that I was needing to juggle much too much. So I took my work from Ruchi's beautiful shop so she did not have to look at dingy silver anylonger, took down my tired window display and packed away the mushrooms.   I received a letter that Foundry Lane was closing.  This was sad, as I was so proud to be included in Jenepher Burtons beautiful gallery in Portland.   After a bit of time,  I have come to appreciate the closing (from my narrow perspective only) as a blessing.   More so than ever before, I feel that my time is precious. I have decided to simplify.  I want to use my stolen moments to delve into projects that interest me regardless of if I think a piece will sell. I do not want to worry about the practicality of such pieces. That is one of the vast benefits of being a nurse. The point of all that is to let you know you can check out my work on etsy. Or on my person.
