What’s Coming Up in 2017
In order to have more time to make art in 2017, I made to the decision to leave the wonderful studio space I shared at ArtSpace in Maynard, Massachusetts for the past 4 years, and to move my studio back home. I will miss the friendships, the beautiful space with huge windows and great light and enough room to print up to 16' of fabric at one time. But, having my studio at home means I can work when I have down time and don't need to spend 30+ minutes in the car to get to or from the studio. Now I can work as time permits, including at night in my pajamas.
In terms of art making, my plan is to continue my 12 x 12 Series into 2017 for my 11th year. I will also be creating a large piece that reflects the dates of my family's milk purchases throughout the year, watching time as the year progresses as I celebrate a milestone birthday. And if time permits, I'll continue working on a series of 9 paintings on 22" x 10" board that I was working on a year ago but have not worked on since. They're more than 50% done.
Please check in to see new work I'll be creating.
Have a happy, healthy and creative 2017!
Jeanne
