A Field Trip to Artisphere
·
When I mentioned in Sprouts that I would share pictures from the date with myself at Artisphere, I hadn’t considered the artists. As I began taking pictures of some of my favorite stalls, I realized that to share their work on my website would probably be compromising. So here are some street picture. Artisphere’s website…
Take a Date
·
This weekend is the 20th anniversary of Artisphere on Main Street of Greenville, SC. One of the reasons that we moved to Greenville was the ‘art scene’. We had no idea what that would amount to until we got here. Greenville not only has one of the most beautiful Main Streets that I have ever…
Stop for a Minute
·
Our eyes are amazing. In concert with our brains, they are constantly compiling pieces into a whole that we interpret and accept. On my desk, a mug holds a collection of colored pencils. A jar holds some shiny night sky shapes. A stack of colored index cards is within easy reach. To my right, a…
A Few of My Favorite Questions
·
My patron saint of questions (and fashion) Ms. Frizzle says “If you keep asking questions, you’ll keep getting answers.” I think if I were to make a list of questions, I would have a hard time finding the end of it. I am very in touch with my 3 year old self’s curiosity (but, why…)…

Empty Space
·
Do you love an empty space? Does it make you feel a sense of possibility, calm, anxiety, or something else? If I take too long to evaluate the possibilities, an empty space becomes a source of overwhelm and perfection for me.. a mistaken belief that I have this valuable real estate so I have to…

What do you wanna be?
·
I remember my kindergarten classroom pretty clearly. I was a “morning student” – a subject I remember the mothers around me talking about as they anticipated our first school assignments of teachers and times. Mrs. McPike administered both my first public embarrassments and triumphs. And she opened the universe to me as the letters joined…
