Studio Update: January 2020

I’m going to start the year with a post summarizing the textured fiber paintings I made in 2019. But before I get to that, I’m currently working on my first piece for 2020 – (Feeling) Grief. I knew I’d need to create Grief at some point; I guess that time is now. Here are a few progress photos:

(Feeling) Grief – the template for the canvas

The final design, photographed in black and white to show contrast.

Come back next month to see the completed work!

In 2019, I made 6 textured fiber paintings, which was my goal. Feelings ran the spectrum from Woe to Dynamism. (If you’re interested, I have the same goal this year. Considering the amount of stitching I do on these pieces, 6 seems reasonable as I don’t make art full time.) I’ve included photos below, with links to each piece’s article if you’d like a bit more information about a piece. All of this work is for sale. If you’re interested, please visit my Gallery page or contact me through this website.

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.

My art and my work go hand in hand. I’m a Leadership Development Trainer & Coach, working with stressed, frantic, frazzled professionals who struggle to lead, experience self-sabotage, have difficulty communicating, and can’t break through persistent red tape. What they want is to innovate, achieve consistent results, and come together as a team, so their employers call on me for leadership development training and coaching. I’m an expert at shedding the stress, designing solutions, and building cohesive, consistent high-achieving teams. My clients go from crisis mode to working in harmony, saving time, money, and energy, finally getting their shit together. If you’re interested in leadership development training and coaching, please join me over at Harmony Coaching.

The majority of my work is for sale. Please visit my Gallery for available work.
