Dear Friends,

I hope you are all holding up all right, and staying healthy and safe. I'm doing the best I can, myself. Since I can't be at the studio, I've been creating at home, making mixed-media embroidered collages with the materials I have available. These pieces look starkly different from my recent paintings, but I find myself still exploring similar themes of domestic work and pattern-making, thinking about what feels like "home." I've put a few up in my online shop and will be producing more.

Even though I'm not in the studio, my art's still there. Eden has hung an exhibit at Secession Art & Design, featuring bright, colorful paintings by me and Nathalie Fabri. You can peek through the windows and see some of it, or watch this quick video, and you can also see all the works individually on Secession's website.

Best of all, join us this Friday April 24 at 6-7pm PDT for a virtual happy hour. Nathalie and I will be calling in from our homes to talk about the work, and Eden will be at the gallery showing it off. To join the happy hour, click https://zoom.us/j/95120713112 at the right time, and if it prompts you to enter a password, type "essential". I hope I'll see you then!

I'd love to hear from you - personal connection feels more and more important these days. Tell me about what's making you happy, or helping you hang in there. If you have any questions about my work, I'd be delighted to answer them.

Warmly
Heather
