3 Keys to thriving in chaos
I’m sharing my 3 keys to thriving in chaos to make art in the studio during major home renovation.
Create 52 works in 52 weeks! This pursuit arose after emerging victoriously from a particularly character-building period of life.
In returning to my studio practice, I considered narrative realism demanded too much preparation and planning. Worn out from an extended rebuild of my home whilst living in it, I opted to pursue abstraction. Knowing that abstraction was not easy, I gave myself an extended time of studio play with no expectations other than to see where it all might lead if I pushed myself to create one abstract each week. Importantly, I am motivated by having a specific goal.

The first works resulting from this pursuit debuted July 2024.

When life gets in the way of creating art and I cannot get into the studio! Rotten floors took me out of the studio for a season.
I’ve learned the hard way that to care for and love myself is critical in the creative life! Particularly, when life throws a few spanners.
Play in the studio is what I’m doing for the next twelve months to boost creativity. I’ve taken notice of what children, the experts, do.
I use pigment ink pen to create patterns to influence contrast and direction my derivative work, ‘Red Playground-Finish what you started’.
Bold or Confronting?? I now want to consider if I’ve made ‘Red Playground-Finish what you started’ simply bold or largely confronting.
