Time-Being, an Artist’s Statement
During Gowanus Open Studios next weekend (October 19-20), I’ll have on display my growing body of 4×6″ watercolor pieces. These are all part of a series and project I started in about 2018, and then worked on sporadically up to the present.

How I Spent My Summer
It’s interesting how often events and projects don’t quite roll out as I imagine they will. These past nine months have been a perfect example of that.

Studio Notes: Moku hanga progress!
Last spring I mentioned that I was rekindling a relief printmaking practice — specifically, Japanese woodblock (“Moku hanga“), and I have indeed been spending a lot of time on this over the past year or so.
