It's a new year, friends! 

I hope your holidays brought all the extra time, rest and chocolate you hoped for. We still have another week of LEGOs and jigsaw puzzles before real life kicks in but I'm secretly hoping to sneak in an hour or two with my brushes at some point.

I want to sincerely thank you all for your amazing support this past year. For enrolling in my course, purchasing my art and cheering me on over at Instagram. I'm still at the beginning stages of this journey but so very excited to see where the road ahead leads.

This coming year I've been asked to show my work in several physical spaces. That means producing more work than I have in previous years but I'm definitely up for the task and got a good head start at the end of December. (I'd show you an image of my studio floor at the moment but I'm afraid you'd just refer me for professional help) I look forward to sharing my new work in the months to come though!

I'm hoping January will bring time in the sauna, a few more days of snow, spending time with my artist friends planning for the year to come and painting, lots of painting. I have 54 (!) books  lined up in my audio app so expect some good recommendations in the next letter!
