Nearly 100,000 dots. By hand. One at a time.

Plus all those quarter-circles rotating into pinwheels and color clusters — all in encaustic wax. It’s a lot. In the best way.

Come see it in person this weekend — I’ll be at Newton Open Studios at Newton South High School. Worth the trip if you like color, geometry, and knowing a human did all of this by hand.

Okay. I finished that composition and am happy with my exploration into new textures. Loving my wax stylus!

Opened my email and there it was. I’m in for Rittenhouse in September.

You apply, you wait, you try not to think about it… and then you’re absolutely thinking about it.

Last year was a great one. Busy booth, real conversations, and a lot of moments that reminded me why I love doing shows in the first place.

And there are plenty coming up before then. Tephra ICA, Newton Open Studios, and Newburyport are all on deck over the next couple of months. May into summer is shaping up nicely.

Looking forward to getting back to Rittenhouse, seeing familiar faces, and having another run at it.

Still waiting on Armonk and Bethesda. Fingers crossed.
