This will be my last Sandbox entry as the free studio resident at Public Space One, so I will leave you with a few of my favorite things from this time. One of the best moments was deciding to stay in my studio after the residency! […]
After hours in the studio I needed some fresh, cool air. The red hues all around were speaking to me. So, I decided to make my walk a study in reds — being aware of the color and letting it soak in.
