Writing

My practice expanded in 2023 to include long form. The prose on my blog most often (but not always) starts with a single word as an inspiration, if not precisely a topic. The list below is in reverse chronological order. I also have chosen to take some time at the end of the year to reflect on local exhibits which I found exciting (2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 editions).

This blog began as a diary* of the artists I spent some time learning about as I restarted a practice that had slept for more than a decade. Eventually this became (and still is, mostly) a daily practice- one blog, one specific artist. Over time I began to use the native WordPress functions of this site to catalog my own practice. I wrote at first to create a running narrative of my portfolio, in particular once I started making installation work in addition to paintings. I also began curating, which entailed writing critically about general concepts and engaging with the work of others. Eventually the blog itself came into focus as part of my practice, and now includes a bimonthly practice of long form. Hopefully 2026 takes my writing to new places!

*at one point I made a visual diary that, while not updated since around post 1,800, has images from each blog.
