Fluctuation

 There has been a lot of fluctuation in my life in the past few years, but especially in the past six months. When you try something big things shift. What I don't always remember is that they keep on shifting after the initial change that was to be expected. 


I've had a passion for creating art with Procreate for the past couple of years.
You will probably see more of that here in the near future. 


I've had to make a number of decisions based on risk evaluation and probabilities. Here are a couple of things you will find have changed:

1. After enjoying having a studio for a year, I decided I could not, in good faith, sign on for another year. I had some things up my sleeve, but the timing was going to overlap in just the wrong way. So I vacated my studio at the end of last month. 

2. Along with that decision was the need to let go of renewing my website as it came to the renewal date. So I have switched my content back to blogger here. Perhaps I will renew the website, but for the nonce, this is where you can find me. Well, that and on Instagram, Facebook, the Making app, TikTok, etc.

So as often happens when the decision is made to let go of the old ways, the new rushes in. Out of my sleeves came an announcement that changed the course of events once again. 

Last Wednesday Mass Cultural Council announced the recipients of their Pandemic Recovery Grants and I was on the list! So exciting! I am so grateful for the opportunity. Now there are several things I must do straight away:

a.) Find a new studio (hopefully closer than before) and

b.) Make a serious decision about my digital efforts. Where do I want to be putting my attention?

Sometimes I just shake my head. I should've, could've would've, but honestly, I believe that some things must be let go of in order for better things to happen. I'm trying not to question it. 

I hope you will stop by and say hello.
