Studies, exercises and work on
in my sketchbook.

Hailing from the CVP program, our new artist of the week has been making some incredible strides with her work, pushing those themes and concepts she was already drawn to even further. Bold mark making, combined with a new sense of openness has given her compositions a vibrancy reminiscent of Wassily Kandinsky and the Abstract Expressionist Movement. We’re looking forward to seeing what this artist has in store for the future…

Today’s sketchbook. Tee hee it feels fun to put a bow in my art. I’ve done it in the past but never really "owned" the idea. Today I was able to embrace my inner bow by participating #insightcreative30daychallenge

One thing I’ve learned from the #insightcreative30daychallenge insightcreative30daychallége is that my process usually takes more than one day because of needed drying time. It’s ok if I can’t finish a page a day - as long as I work in it everyday. 🙏🙏 Doing this is kind of like having a discussion back and forth with myself- I can follow certain thoughts that keep appearing.

Thoughtfully working in my #sketchbook. I find myself working longer on each page of my sketchbook sometimes. I guess it’s because I’m focusing more on thinking and feeling. Still a great place to try out weird stuff - an attachment to the outcome. It’s ok to be left unresolved and there is value in being unresolved.

Back to the sketchbook - it’s so easy to lose rythme - I guess that’s the whole point of keeping up with a daily practice. Now that I’m done with my exhibition I can go back to playing in my sketchbook and the #insightcreative30daychallenge . 🙏
