- negative thoughts

Perfectionism is not a good friend. 

To chase Delight, not Perfection.

To hold onto hope tight enough to provide steady light, and loose enough to illuminate more than one possible path.

Chalkboard walls & colors! I love my MoonShadow Press Studio!

I found all of these objects washed up at a beach in Italy. The cabinet is a perfect home for them, keeping them safe and visible. 

Something to keep our words afloat.

In Florence, there was a paper goods shop that would occasionally leave free things outside on a windowsill. One time I picked up a few old pamphlets. I don’t remember why now, but I started painting one of them with black gesso. As my brush slid across the pages, certain letters started emerging from the paint, refusing to be covered. The more I painted, the more letters appeared. It was as if it was writing its own, secret story. 

From left to right: a photo collage combining two images from an art history text book, a hand stitched photo collage, an old Italian political pamphlet, a collage combining images from a Florence guide book, an etching from my thesis, a drawing of a painting in the Uffizi Galleria, a tiny map of Florence, and two pictures of my best friend!

I found this gorgeous block printed paper at a shop in Florence, Italy. The detail is stunning and I love the bold pattern. 

Snapshots of Italy & friends hung in a simple way - with just white electrical tape on a chalkboard. Forgoing frames gives a casual and intimate feel when showcasing photographs.
