I’m really, really excited for this new project I’m embarking on. My plan is to complete each of the 53 “experiments” in the book “The Spirit of Drawing: A Sensory Meditation Guide to Creative Expression.” Why is this journey calling me right now? I will tell you…
I got my Masters in Fine Art with an emphasis on New Genres. That means a lot of conceptual thinking and heady ideas. I loved it, and with my own spin of visionary mysticism, I still consider myself a conceptual artist. However…
I miss the earthier, more primal art making that I once knew. No agenda, no concepts, no thinking… just… being. Connecting with the materials in a more physical way, more sensual. A lot of my past work stems from a more raw place (see my Shamanka series, here.)

I want to bring my body back into my art, and reconnect with the Source. I want physicality, feelings, and touch to return to my process. My goal is to marry this “art yoga” with my conceptual art, eventually. But first…
I get to delve into the process of another daily regimen, which I’m so amped for! My 100 Days of Art ended a couple months ago now, and I miss the daily routine of it. This process will challenge me to drop my “monkey mind” for awhile, and I’m so ready to meet this opportunity head on!
I will also be writing about my experiments daily (given I’m around a computer). I’ll try to blog daily as well. Stay tuned… 🙂
