Today I arrived in Vermont for an artist retreat. In preparation for an individual critique with my instructors, I knew I needed to dust off this site. That’s the whole purpose of this trip, actually.. to dust off my artwork. It’s pretty telling that my last blog post is from from 3/20/20. As an art teacher, the last two and a half years have taken a lot out of me. In doing everything I could to keep my students engaged and keep my own children on track in this new landscape, I lost my spark to create. My intention for this week is to dig deep and get it back.
On my solitary drive up here, I chuckled to a David Sedaris audiobook, rocked out to an entire DMB concert (who ever has time for THAT!?), and couldn’t resist stopping at a charming farmstand on the border of NY and VT. When I texted a friend who coined my snack “Road Cherries,” I knew I was heading in the right direction. Stay tuned…
