It breaks my heart to read about all these artists around the world that stopped shipping to the US. What a sad situation. I'm always so amazed by your coffee shop works. The fact that you do that with a water brush amazes me. It makes things so much easier, not to carry all those brushes, but I still need more practice with the water brush. Thank you for this lovely newsletter!

Thank you. We will find a new opportunities. We can’t let what’s going on affect our ability to create. I am working on a new series and I just hope that my US collectors and friends will have a chance to purchase them when they are done.

I pushed myself to use the water brushes as I didn’t want to fuss with water cups before work. I needed to remove as many barriers as possible. I still love traditional brushes and water cups but even in my home studio, I find myself going to water brushes. I do admit they need some getting used to. Take care.

These workshops will be in person. Online coming later in the year. Thinking maybe a weekend retreat in 2027.
