*assignment from class 7-classic fairy tale hansel and gretel All I can say is it’s been a very long month and a half. Juggling contract work plus school has been challenging at times but it’s been worth it. We’ve produced an eight panel action sequence, a 32 page book dummy and a finished illustration of a classic fairy tale and we still have three classes to go. I’ve learned a lot in the class and feel really inspired to work on my book idea. The critiques have been so valuable and it made me realize what I’ve been missing working in my studio alone. In Brooklyn I shared a studio space with some amazing artists and I forgot how beneficial it is to be a part of a community. Trying not to turn this blog into a therapy session… but moving and starting over has been more challenging then I imagined. Sometimes I really miss New York, or the idea of it anyway. Hopefully my husband won’t read this because he will remind me why we left and how much I hated living there. This is such a pattern for me. The whole looking back, second guessing and idealizing the past. The “being in the moment” thing has always been my biggest challenge but I’m working on it!

I know how much you miss New York. I really love the pictures called “I miss the thought of you” and I can actually visualize myself on that dock sending off that balloon with a note for you and Jed, in hopes that it keep it’s course and flies all the way to San Francisco. That is what is makes it so beautiful to me. Missing people miles away, especially family. I really hope to see you soon. I also love the pictures of Creating Healthy Boundaries and Best Breeds. Keep up the great work! Take care and I’ll see you soon.
