Good Food and Gratitude

It’s another Studio Haus anniversary of business and I don’t have a whole lot to say except to share wishes of good food and gratitude during this month of Thanksgiving and all our days ahead. The leaves are beginning to turn where I am and the celebrations of fellowship have already begun. I’m excited about the current projects and those ahead of me with new clients and some I’ve been fortunate to continue working with over many years now. It’s a blessing to offer what I love to the world, so thank you for it all.

Short & Sweet

It’s been a busy few weeks and after completing work for two events, with a flurry of finished projects and several others waiting in the wings, sharing artwork seems the way to go for this month’s post. With all the rumblings of the power of women’s voices these days, even in their quiet but assured tones, finding rest in the quiet spaces has been of utmost importance. Here’s a piece that began in one of my favorite ways of resting: drawing the human figure. Have a wonderful October.

Let's Go Walking in Memphis

As I write this post, it is the Labor Day holiday weekend so what better way to spend it than by keeping things short and carving time out for some R&R. Looking ahead though, I'm excited to be a part of the Memphis Japan Festival's planning and preparation. Please consider joining us for this family-friendly event that also gives half-price access to the Memphis Botanic Garden (Sept. 30th only) and the Origami in the Garden exhibit. Japanese culture provides so much awe-inspiring craft and entertainment and the Garden of course is quite lovely. The state of Tennessee is so very lucky to have so many wonderful cities with diverse landscapes and events to choose from—and we are grateful to add this Festival to the mix!

"Cradle to Cradle"

I have considered myself a life-long environmentalist. Yet calling oneself an environmentalist in this capitalist American society is a tricky thing. Hasty judgements are made that may or may not apply. For some people the label conjures the image of a tree-hugging trouble-maker. For others, it's someone who recycles and composts. For me, it just means I care deeply about the other living things that surround our world and the impact we humans have on them.
