Ooooohhh it's been too long! Sorry for not updating this blog for a while, but I graduated, moved and got a new awesome job that's totally consuming. But I love it! I have a cute house and a dog and I work at this amazing gallery in Oklahoma City.
So anyway, my newest project is this book that's kind of a combination journal and artist book. I think of it as a record of my life for the past five months. I've been working on it since I moved to OKC, doing about five or six pages at a time. The writing and images reflect my feelings and happenings in my life that day or that week. It's been a really refreshing project for me since getting out of the school mode. I can work on the pages whenever I have a free moment or day. And since the pages are a smaller "canvas" I finish the one-page-spread paintings faster and can move on to the next one. Having them all contained in a book lets me see the progression of thoughts and feelings, and I have it all contained in one capsule. I love how the pages can be either simple or complex, and they develop a repetition of color and symbols which follow my mood from week to week. It's almost done, and you can see more pages of it on my main website Reverie Studio.
