Opening Nov 7 at 5 pm - Gallery 126 in Florence, AL. Hillary Price and myself explore what it means to be between- myself as a military spouse and Hillary as a neurodivergent. Would love to see you!!!

The Art of Hello and Goodbye is going to Cimarron National Works on Paper - August- Dec. Hello and Goodbyes, or Hail and Farewells happen often for military. Spouses are throw together, forming community. I am fascinated with the way these inform our identities. #worksonpaper #contemporarydrawing

Books- reading 10 books at once. Theyโ€™re in the kitchen, studio, living room, bedroomโ€ฆThese are next to my โ€œthinking chair.โ€ (Iโ€™m enjoying Robert Hughes collection of essays. Iโ€™m trying โ€œwomen who run with wolves.โ€) Anyone have similar problems? #studioreading #bookseverywhere #booksrbetterthannews

When the world seems to be closing in on you, when itโ€™s overwhelming- I focus on what I can. I lean into those around me- itโ€™s a precious commodity that can keep you going when the world feels ugly. One day at a time- for the next 4 yearsโ€ฆ#preciouscommodity #sticktogether #artistsendure

Juggling: paintings, lecture prep, family, running, etc. Itโ€™s overwhelming. Working on this painting called โ€œthe Waitingโ€- a funny little painting with a serious background-it reminds me how lucky I am- my husband is here and Iโ€™m not โ€œwaitingโ€ just jugglingโ€ฆ #militaryspouse #contemporarypainting

Pushing through a day in the studio, on National Quitters Day. (Is this a real day?! when most New Year resolutions are ended) I was thinking how time in the studio really has to be fought for, especially as a motherโ€ฆ my resolution was protecting studio time! #contemporarypainter #figurativeart
