Inspiration VS. Time

Man, it sure has been a while... Life has changed so much for me recently. Another cross country move under my belt personally, and a new territory to explore beyond my childhood summers. It's strange to reside somewhere amongst your childhood memories.... In a place you remember more from pictures, and visits, and day dreams about the memory both of the people and events before. Nostalgia in it's realest form. I feel as though I am living in a virtual time capsule. Thank goodness I dig this kind of transformation! A new little beach abode where my Grandfather made his home for over 50 years. Day to day items, retro finishes,and boxes of dusty personal memorabilia. I feel the inspiration rise up into the air along with subtle poofs of dust from plastic tchotchkes that haven't seen the light of day in ages. A familiar smell like that of an old museum and the delicate surfaces of vintage fabrics lend themselves to the mind discovering new aesthetics. This is awesome. I must tease you and say there is studio space now... it's super small but it's better than the previous one bedroom apartment!

This is where I ask that you stay tuned. I wrestle with time currently. New job, new home, new ideas.... JUST a lack of time. It's always something isn't it?? 

If you're out there and you can offer some moral support for my creative endeavors please let me know that I have a reason to create. I need some poking and prodding right now. I feel as though I am on the verge of starting to produce inventory right now....

SOON to be shared is my collage collection. During the move I was able to recover most of my previous works. Super exciting to have them all in my possession after so many years. Please if you <3 the artist's journey.... STAY TUNED to your Grease Kitten ;)
