prairie + bohemian influences for STRUT

I’m working on my projects for one of Burlington Vermont’s big art events STRUT a fashion show on September 6th. I am down to 9 days to complete my looks so my work needs to be very intentional and organized. I’m going for a laid-back bohemian, modern prairie vibe. Here are a few influences and one of the completed projects. I might show you more of what I am working on, however there’s a pretty good chance that I lose myself in my studio for the next week. I’ll show you all of the finished projects though. I wish you a creative Thursday, however that manifests in you.

Here’s the link to the event:

It’s all in perspective.

I was working in my studio yesterday on deadline for a big project on deadline (September 6th-YIKES) and I had this realization. Sometimes life looks so daunting if you look through a big scope. When I narrowed the way I was seeing what needed to be done, it really settled my nervous system down. I took these photos of the same sculpture in Milwaukee last week. What a difference leaning down a bit made in my perspective.

“The Calling” is a sculpture by American artist Mark di Suvero in O’Donnell Park, which is on the lakefront in Milwaukee across a footbridge to the Milwaukee Art Museum.
