learning to see
Week #2: drawings made on the subway, the couch, in the margins of artist talk notes, and while on the phone with a long-distance friend.
This year, I am making at least 365 drawings in my sketchbook and sharing seven of them weekly. Check in on Tuesdays for new posts, or look for monthly round-ups in my studio newsletter — you can subscribe here to receive those in your inbox. ♡
Missed week 1? Start here:
For Visual AIDS‘ Postcards from the Edge benefit exhibition which took place last month — I am honored to contribute in this small way to their meaningful work.
Last November, I was invited to be an artist-in-residence at Jen Tough Gallery in Santa Fe, NM. I worked on a cycle of twelve small drawings, the most I’ve ever intentionally worked on simultaneously and as a series. In addition, it was a treat to get outside for some plein aire sketching and to visit multiple museums during my time in Santa Fe. When everything else drops away, it’s amazing how much art can be accomplished in a single week! I really enjoyed and appreciated my time and certainly hope to return to Santa Fe in the future.

Two of my colored pencil drawings are currently on view at PeepSpace in Tarrytown, NY as part of the gallery’s fourth iteration of its flat file program. I had the chance to visit for the opening reception last weekend and enjoyed meeting fellow artists and the gallery’s new co-directors.
The exhibition continues through December 7, and all pieces will remain available for viewing or purchase throughout the year in the gallery’s flat file. To learn more or inquire, please contact peepspaceny@gmail.com.
