Been witnessing a lot of the magic in our beautiful planet earth these last few weeks, both in sunrises & sunsets. This doesn’t do it justice of course.
I know I’ve been super quiet on here lately too. Haven’t posted much in quite awhile except for a few stories when I’ve been at – which has been super good for my soul driving up there, this sunset was on my way up there from Bmore.
Also there’s a lot of change going on in my life and as I’ve been processing it, I felt the need to be quiet and go inward. This pandemic has turned a lot of things I did – like teaching yoga, running my studio, and being an extroverted-opening-throwing curator – on it’s head. And that’s been hard.
One of the changes I made is that I took a short term job to be with community, & to help serve my community better, since there was a need and I was asked to do so, I thought why not. And so, I’ve spent the past month teaching as a long term substitute art teacher at Randallstown High. Hence seeing all the amazing sunrises since I pretty much get up in the dark, which allows me to witness the beauty of the dawn rising. It’s also been an adjustment, I’m learning a ton, sharing what I know from my life’s experiences, and enjoying it for the most part 95% of the time. I’ve still continued to show and sell work, and even managed to de-install and reinstall part of a collector’s collection (over 60 photos & paintings) as their home was being freshly painted. And that was quite exciting 🤩!! And oh the fun times I’ve had painting and hanging out with & on my weekends off.
So life has been really good, I have felt blessed to be where I’m at. I’m moving out of the darkness and into the light. Hope to share more of the work I’m doing here and maybe some photos too of past projects as I felt like I went into hibernation mode and despite it being fall, I’m ready to re-emerge and share the beauty I see in this world with you. Much love, J
