Despite having a household filled with family (Alex & his 3 kids have moved in with us until they can re-settle in Bellingham) and an overly busy schedule of work and chores, I have enjoyed one of my most productive years. What is that saying? If you want something done, ask a busy person...
2010 was very satisfying for me, artistically. I participated in 2 art shows in the Village Books Reading Gallery. See my links in the previous post, for images.
What will 2011 hold for me? It's time to put pen to paper and write a story, based on the life of Floyd, my maternal grandfather, set in 1933, Toledo, Ohio, during the Autolite Strike and riots. In the midst of turmoil and heartache, he discovered a perfect gift - and a purpose that drove the rest of his life, and indirectly, drove the life of his granddaughter - me. This grain of sand has been irritating me long enough; time to write it out. Our family legacy...
And, I want to produce some smaller, more interpretive art pieces - versions of the WINGS theme, made with paper and found objects. The study and sound of birds has captivated me. Will it also set me free to create?
