Dear Friends,
Well, a whole lot has changed since the last time I posted. A month ago, I was heading on a trip to Martinique (which I was very fortunate to get to take, and also to get home safely from). Now I'm sheltering in place, like most of you, and not going to the studio since it's across town and a non-essential trip. My planned shows for this time have all been canceled or postponed, and I'm feeling rather at loose ends.
I'm doing a lot of cooking, baking, crocheting and sketching, planning for when I can get to my studio again. I've also been trying to support as many local small businesses as I can, ordering things online and buying gift cards. Most of my time is going to Secession Art & Design, the gallery my studio is in, so they can stay in business until we're all allowed to go outside again.
I've also been trying to practice gratitude, and I'm taking time to appreciate you, all of you, who have supported me and my art. I know you might be weary of being asked how you're doing (how do you even answer that?), and it's a rough time for an awful lot of people, but I really would love to hear from you, if you're up for it.
Best
Heather
PS: I've updated the info for my former March exhibits below. I've added some new works to my website, and I've also created a printed goods shop with pillows, leggings and other cozy items, since we're all spending a lot of time at home.
Breezy was meant to be in the Artspan Art Auction in March. Now I'm donating the proceeds directly to support Artspan. Contact me if you're interested in acquiring this piece.
