We spent this weekend at my parent’s farm in NH and spent today (it’s a holiday here!) taking a class on metalsmithing / forging. It was really physical and laborious but fun. It took us hours to make a simple hook! But it once again reminded me slow processes can be the best ones. I […]

When you paint paper and then form it into sculptures on wood armatures is that painting or sculpture? Does it matter? Is it both? Such is the questions that came up when I saw the works of Lauren Clay that I love most. The below, to me, made in that very way, looks like a […]

A mini-lifetime ago I lived in Telluride, CO and worked at an art school called Ah Haa. Annually they have an art auction, which is a huge fundraiser for the school. Local and nationally recognized artists donate works that are sold in both a silent and live auction format, and some of the pieces are […]

After three days in the woods, today we ventured into town. I went and got a massage and explored the yarn store…then we went to the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough to see what they had up for sale. A lot of artists that I’ve written about I discovered at the SAC but today I […]

Another artist I really liked while I was at the SoWa Open Market was Heather Pilchard. Both my mom and I seem to have an affinity for anything encaustic and we spotted Heather’s work from afar. The works she had brought with her were relatively small in scale – paintings, photos and pastel works. Heather […]

It might be me missing the fun of 80s weekend or it might just be being a young girl in a big city myself but I find myself identifying with these photographs and other original works by Leigh of JKL Designs. Based in Denver, CO – another place close to my heart – she works […]
