ART PROCESS & WORD OF THE YEAR (LOOKING THROUGH THE PAST TO BEGIN AGAIN)

In this video, I step into the studio to prepare for the new year, maybe a little late to the party, but exactly on time for my own rhythm.

I am taking down my wall of inspiration, sifting through the past, and letting the past images, words and memories inform the new.

My art practice lives in the space between feeling and form, where abstract work is guided less by plans and more by sensation, intuition, and energy.

Here, dismantling the studio wall becomes a ritual of release clearing space for what is to come, responding to what remains, and trusting that what has already been made holds clues for what wants to arrive next. This is an approach to creation that honors the timing of what is to emerge.

Finally, I share my word of the year for 2026 and talk a little bit about my WHY. If you have a word of the year let me know what word is floating around you, waiting to be claimed?

Drop it in the comments below and let’s celebrate the words that are shaping our year together.
