Open for blogging!

Perhaps inspired by all the possibilities a new year presents my mind has been spinning with future painting ideas. My temptation is to get painting (which is my typical reaction) but this time around I'm trying something new. At the end of 2009 I began thinking about what I've accomplished and otherwise. I began to see that my work has been really lost for the last 4 years (by lost I mean alllllll over the place). I have not had any sort of direction, trying desperately to get it all together in time for graduation. That frantic way of working provided me with some interesting results but what I really desire now is a body of work that functions as a coherent discussion between each other. So in response to these reflections I've decided to work from an artist statement which is normally an after thought. I hope this gives me a good starting point and that direction I was talking about.

That's all for now as I continue to figure out this whole blogging thing.
