THE BLOOMS

a retrospective

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

this is how my blooming goes. getting ready and getting ready and being scared and then one day - there is really no other choice. like a peony. i explode. because i can’t stand it any more. :) the blossoms in this year’s calendar have emerged from my studio… not with the intention of existing as a collection like this. but. because. flowers are really just always beautiful.

there are bits of the collection for APEX rec center in arvada this summer. pieces of the black eyed susan blind contours that consumed my fall this year. parts of the 100 lines collection from 2023. and september. september is a sweet breath of pink from 2018. a memorial to the flood that rocked appalachia this fall. the place that taught me so much about myself. the first land i learned how to love. they still need our support from outside.

Notes - All calendar images are 8”x8” squares and printed on soft 100% recycled 80lb. cardstock. They are designed for you to be able to pull out and frame for yourself or as gifts when the year is out. The calender itself is 8.5” wide by 14” tall, hangs from a twine loop at the top and comes individually shrink wrapped for protection from me and you and the elements. :)
