We’re Moving! – Why are you not surprised?
“Once you’d resolved to go, there was nothing to it at all.” ― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle “Moving” blog posts have become quite a familiar topic on our site. Blake and I started out in disparate places, he in Iowa (the blue) and I in Georgia (the pink.) All of the orange markers in […]
Flocking to the Pump: New Mini Drawings
Since January, I’ve been working on a new series of works called Flocking to the Pump. You can see the main works in the series in this earlier post, All of This Happened, More or Less. Four of them are currently on display in the 17th Annual No Dead Artists Juried Exhibition at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New […]
The Luckiest Unlucky Girl in the World
Well, I’m not going overseas afterall. Everything fell through, and I don’t know why. So, I’m just a girl in Ohio, married to a guy who works at BGSU. I had some other opportunities, which I regretfully denied based on my signing a contract for my job overseas, and which now are most likely unavailable […]
Travel Journal: Drawing in the Museums of Chicago and Blind Contour Kentucky
While visiting Chicago with Mom and Sue, we ate a lot of great food, walked a bunch, and also enjoyed seeing the Field Museum and the Art Institute. I always try to draw when I visit museums and write down any interesting tidbits I come across. Here are a few of my doodles from the […]
Wake Up! Drawing Coffee
I’m not really awake yet this morning! Up late last night playing Pictionary and then Trivial Pursuit. It was a blast! Mom and Sue are here visiting from Georgia. We spent several days in Chicago, and now we’re exploring Bowling Green. Detroit is up next! I’m working on scanning in more images for my Facebook […]
Weekend Travel Journal: From Ohio to Detroit
I finally gave in and decided not to force myself to carry around the beautiful, but gigantic pretentious sketchbook I’ve been working in as of late. I’m still drawing in it at home, but it’s too much to lug around all the time. I have, instead, opted for a small folio Blake constructed in the […]
A Dispatch from the Field: Settling in Bowling Green
It’s been about two weeks since I made the move up to Bowling Green from Murray. The time has been largely uneventful, both the students and the university have been quite nice so far, but still somewhat traumatic. Not since my last year of grad. school have Hannah and I spent so much time apart. […]
Packing up Again: A New Neighborhood of Blanket Forts
Blake just left for Ohio for the month; his classes start tomorrow. I’m on a mission to turn this apartment back into a shell for some other wanders to inhabit while Blake holds down the fort at our new shell in Bowling Green. By the way, if any of y’all are interested in a place […]
More about Bowling Green, and a white-knuckle roadtrip
So, folks: as promised here’s the skinny on the new gig and our odyssey over the week. I’ve been in the interview process for the last few weeks. Because the job begins in January, interviews had to be conducted via Skype, without the usual on-site second interview. As a result, I still haven’t been up […]
