This week seemed long and productive. Firstly, nineteen more
Isolated Moments were brought
into the world, documented, and listed in my
Etsy shop, Art Maven. I am happy to report there were several sales too. Thank you, patrons, for supporting my work! Here are five of my current available favorites. Please visit my
Etsy shop to see more and make your purchases.
To learn more about these pieces you can view my weekly
Facebook Tuesday studio visit video, where I go into detail about my process.
This week, I also started painting a wearable collection of modern art scarves. These scarves are hand picked by me for their color and tactile qualities. I am choosing synthetic fabrics to the best of my knowledge as to not use silk so that they will be vegan-friendly. Also to contribute to the circular economy, and in order to be more environmentally friendly, the scarves are sourced from local charity shops. I then paint them in my studio. It's the early days yet and I hope to complete ten of them to see how they are received. I hope to produce a line of abstract brooches soon as well. It has been a fun and active time in the studio.
And yes, I really will get back to my canvas
Resilience Series paintings soon! Which leads me to the next big item!
Last but certainly not least, I am delighted to share that I now have work in
The Velvet Easel Gallery in Portobello, Edinburgh. It is one of my favourite galleries and I am chuffed to bits to have my work included in the current exhibition,
Portobello Mon Amour. If you are in the area please stop by the gallery. You can find them on
facebook too. The gallery has three pieces from my
New Language series, including the title piece as seen here on the right side of the gallery window. It is wonderful to be in such good company.

I think that is all I have for you this week. I am knackered! Until next week, keep fighting. Keep speaking out, calling your elected officials, signing petitions, showing up at rallies, vote with your pounds and dollars every day. Support the things you love, look for the helpers in this world and be one when you can. It's up to us.
