It has been over a week, but I haven’t forgotten my blog. I am excited and moved by the idea of consistency and longevity in one’s art practice. Recording your thoughts via blog, journal, etc. is a beneficial thing to do, simply because it is an act of consistency. I appreciate routine- and getting lost… Continue reading Lynch lives the art life
New Studio, Updated Brain
Sound the trumpets, I made the big girl artist move and got a studio! It is too romantic for me to presently perceive as real. It is a 12 minute walk from my apartment. There is a coffee shop at it’s entrance. A cat named Garfield lives in the hall and visits me. One wall… Continue reading New Studio, Updated Brain
Kin, Ancestral Celebration
Today is my Grandmaw Jean’s 91st Birthday. I called her and she told me she loves me, for the first time I believe. Not because she doesn’t love me, but because her generation doesn’t show it.

Today was a fun/heavy day at work.
I worked non-stop today cataloging artist edition prints by Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002, French-American) for her retrospective that opens next week. Her prints are a careful cultivation of naiveté, whimsical, sketchbook-like illustrations and writing. They are HUGE prints of PRISTINE quality in editions of up to 150. So I ask the question, how does… Continue reading Today was a fun/heavy day at work.
