Growth is happening. I’ve graduated from UW-Milwaukee Peck School of Art and Design. I have work, a commission, and inspiration to work on Guardians of Gaia with the beginnings of a new painting. My little farm experiment is getting bigger. Gifts from Madison arrived with my grandmother: Tomatoes and Herbs. I’ve opened up a new garden plot to fit them with the spring crop I’ve already started. My studio space has expanded as other students leave for the summer. Times are good. The sun is shining.
