Morning talk from the studio

Summer is officially over. And Paul wrote a poem to my cast/painting “She’s Crossing Muddy Waters” and then the poem was made into a song! Artist collaboration is amazing!

Studio visit. Talking about my process in finishing this series.

1) Getting started 2) Yesterday’s memories 3) I was right about Louise Bourgeois “Identity” (her voice) clip

Paul O’Mahoney reads a bit of Rachel Corbett’s ‘You Must Change Your Life - The story of Rainier Maria Rilke and Augusta Rodin’ while I paint.

I talk about my own feelings and read an article about Kate Kretz: an artist’s experience with censorship. www.katekretz.com
