Summers are beautiful in Duluth. Everything is lush, the weather is unpredictable, mosquitos are prevalent but so are the other creatures, like chipmunks, bunnies, deer and there are signs of some of the more elusive residents, like moose, bear and wolves (at least up north).
Meanwhile, kids home from school and a desire to be active outside mean it’s a little harder to find time to make in the studio. Annie Dillard’s quote is about wonder in the natural world, but I find myself also making sure I am there for those kids since their time at home is limited.
I continue to go to Great Lakes Aquarium twice monthly for my Great Lakes Almanac project while also sewing up details for upcoming opportunities (more to come soon). And I am honored to be reviewing the amazing art of regional artists for Pablo Center’s Annual Confluence of Art call.
