Continuing to create

Dear Friends,

I hope you are holding up all right, and staying healthy and safe. Myself, I'm doing the best I can. It's been hard to talk about everything that's going on in the world - I've been spending a lot of time on social media, educating myself and trying to figure out what I can do to make things better.

Last month, I donated 100% of the proceeds of five Little Flower paintings to The Movement for Black Lives. I'm planning to donate a portion of all my sales to them from now on.

Making beautiful things is one of the ways I can contribute to the common good, and I'm grateful to have been able to get back into the studio part-time. I've completed a series of eight paintings I'm calling "The Cheerfuls" (and made a video to show you, since we can't meet in person yet). At the end of June, I delivered a skyline commission that I'm really proud of.

Secession's Anniversary show will be in August, and I'm starting new geometric paintings for that. In the meantime, I just added a series of ten small Aviary & Cage Bird paintings to my website. Each is 5x7", based on an antique trading card image of a bird, and $150. They can hang on a wall or sit on a shelf. Here are a few:

Thanks for your continued support; it means a great deal to me. Please stay safe and if you can, tell me something you're doing to keep yourself going in these weird times.

Warmly
Heather
