How my year long art challenge changed me
My year long art challenge changed me in profound ways. I’m delighted that my studio is filled with 52 new works created in a style I never imagined I’d make.
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.
