Work in Progress

Art is still long, and life is no less fleeting. My husband and I have come through a long difficult journey in the last few years.

Carving Out a Life for Myself

Nearly two years ago now, I left my job in the nonprofit sector. When I left, I was unwell, and had been unwell for months. As I slowly regained my health, I began to consider what kind of life I wanted. I knew art must be a part of it.
