Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with documenting my creative process with pictures, notes, and sketches. I’ve found it really helps me refine my ideas, and it allows me to look back and find new inspiration. I thought I would continue to share that process.

When I’m brainstorming I have a tendency to document everything in one way or another trying to pin down my threads of thought. I write project notes, poems, sketch, put things on the wall, and play with my materials and thoughts. That’s my creative process and I want to try sharing it, these are photos…

When I’ve been focusing on the same subject matter for awhile, I start craving something fresh and new. Hence, this “Creatures of the Moment” tangent is born.

With the new year always comes moments of reflection and for me, part of that was re-examining my work and process. Recently, I’ve been reading “The Intentional Thread” by Susan Brandeis as a sort of back to basics reset of my work. In the book, Brandeis goes back to the very beginning of the art…

I’ve been thinking about process, and fleeting moments lately. When I’m making a piece of art, it’s usually because I have an idea for something fairly specific, but it never stays that way. The work evolves while I’m making it. I feel like my subconscious is weaving in thoughts and feelings that I’m not even…
