Greetings on the first day of summer! Having already experience 100 degree heat, around here we thought summer started a week or so ago. Still, the transition from spring to summer is another way to mark time on the calendar and provides for moments of reflection. This has been a year of transitions already in so many ways—a striking contrast to 2020, which dragged on endlessly, with day-to-day life on a cycle of repeat. Looking back, if feels as if the entire year is a missing chunk of time swallowed into a black hole. While the pandemic (not over yet!) provides a collective memory for humans across the globe, we each experienced the year differently and for me, the lockdown provided many positives that allowed me to reflect on what was and is important in my life.

With continued reflection upon transitions and change in my life, it occurred to me that it was time to move the mountains of artwork on my Etsy shop tables out into the world! That spells summer sale! Treat yourself or a loved one to some lovingly made original art. With a minimum purchase of $20 receive 20% off everything. This includes the collaborative print/mixed media pieces that Johntimothy and I both worked on. The works are all intimate in scale and can fit in small spaces and tight corners. Help me find good homes for these pieces…visit MissouriBendStudio and peruse the drawings, collage, mixed media pieces available there. If you have questions, feel free to get in touch! Enjoy the summer days!
