This too is art.

What's the worst thing an artist can do? Stop. So of course that's what I did. But no matter how hard we try, it's pretty hard to stop creativity. It kind of bubbles up and resurfaces everyplace else. For me it was houses. I guess I'm allowed to acknowledge that, so here's what turned into my biggest creative undertaking— a beat up old doublewide trailer that became my art medium.

The Future of the Past

Would you believe it has been ten years to the day since I last posted here? How is that even possible?

I think it's safe to say that in ten years the world has changed. Because of course it has. It's called evolution. We've been evolving at least since the Sun was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Why stop now?

Speaking of the Sun, in just two days we will experience an extraordinary total solar eclipse. If now is the beginning of the next ten years, what a spectacular phenomena of a threshold for this to begin!

In my own little stardust way I am also evolving and passing through a threshold. After decades of living in cities, I moved up to the mountains and surrounded myself with trees, where I've always belonged.

I found a house, wasted no time making it right, and now I am ready to begin work on the room upstairs. Everything I've worked for over the past ten years - if not my life - is in that room.

I have an art studio.

The drawings I've included here are from a blog I wrote and illustrated during the first 100 days of lockdown. I am truly honored that my work is now a permanent part of the California State Library COVID DIARIES.
