life post-injury has facilitated a major shift in my lifestyle including the way I make art. gone are the days of shrimping and sitting for hours at a time. regularly timed breaks for standing and movement are now baked into my work days and I found myself still wanting to make art while standing. my long-abandoned easel has gained a new lease on life alongside me and I've been making more traditional art as a result. what started as a random experiment turned into a miniseries of 3 full ink drawings. it was fun getting to work in a medium I haven't used in awhile and also exciting to know there are so many ways for me to make art outside of my desk-bound digital setup. I've also been into the idea of filling my studio walls with my artwork and being surrounded by ideas, themes, and creations that are currently speaking to me. I love seeing it in other artists' studios and thought why not do that myself?

I'm currently working on a BIG (3 ft x 4 ft) painting for my living room that's been really fun and teaching me so much. I'll share it once it's done, really looking forward to putting something in the giant blank space above the fireplace!
