Tomorrow is the big day: the opening of my show at Fermilab Art Gallery. My parents are flying in to Chicago today from San Diego to enjoy some of the cooler weather and attend my talk and opening. I am really excited about my talk as I always love the opportunity to talk with people about my work. It's a great opportunity for me to hear how people are responding to the work and what it makes them think about. It's interesting and also helps me to understand how people look at what I'm doing. I think it will be mostly scientists from Fermilab that will be there so I'm sure they will have their own unique perspective that may be different from an artist's.
The details once again:

Artist Talk: 11:30-12:30pm in the gallery

What is this blog about?
Sometimes it's hard to think of being an artist as a real job. If you're a studio artist, it's likely that you don't have a boss or co-workers, scheduled work hours or pre-determined objectives. You have to do all of it yourself. No one is really watching to see if you are being productive or doing your job well. Rarely are there deadlines, critiques, peers, competition... all things that I miss and am less productive without.
This blog is my way of setting some accountability for myself. In my regular studio routine, I sit down before I start to paint and write a to-do list. I intend for this blog to record my to-do list and my thoughts on my process. It's purely a tool to remind myself that there is more work to be done, and to help me track what I've accomplished.
