(Feeling) Serene

Production is slow this year.  I’m building a business as a Corporate Change Coach, which, as you might guess, takes a lot of time.  However, I always make time for the studio – but not as much as I’d like!

There is a great deal of stitching in my Feeling series, which also takes time.  Each individual piece is stitched in a corresponding thread, each stitch line 1/4″ away from the next.  The outline shape calls to mind a happy, fat, little Buddha while the blue and green evoke a feeling of serenity for me, much as sitting on the beach, gazing out at the ocean.

Time is a theme in my life lately.  It takes time to build a business.  It takes time to make big changes.  It takes time to make art.  And yet, even in the midst of tight scheduling and priority juggling, I can always find moments of serenity.  How do you find serenity in your life?

Constructive criticism and comments are always welcome.  Please share your thoughts!

Info about my Feelings series: I interpret my random abstract doodles as emotions.  The guiding point is the outer boundary of the doodle.  The boundary evokes the feeling.  From there, I contemplate how to bring that particular feeling alive in fiber.

  1. Pretty cool Hilary! I’m feeling more serene just looking at your latest work of art!
    Don ‘t know how you have the patience for all that stitching since patience was never your strong suit. LOL Great job. Love, Mom xoxo
