Family Portrait...

None shall sleep...

So last Thursday was a wonderful night in Milwaukee. Jen Davis was in town and gave a lecture to a full house at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Much of the audience were students which was great to see. After the lecture some of us gathered at Milwaukee's own Nessun Dorma. It was a long night to say the least. Above are Kristen, Tara, Justine, Andy, Kevin, Mel, Megan and Jen
As you can tell by my weak camera skills I was having a great time as well!
Good times.

morning in waterford wi

A nice 45 minute drive to waterford wi takes me to Studio 107, Mel's gorgeous studio. Light pours in, photographs are everywhere, stacks of beautiful art books and great company.
Check out her space, love the cork floor! ... note- I only photographed a corner of the space. (Another post will have to include her extensive collection - most acquired online!)

plateau |plaˈtō|

verb ( -teaus, -teaued, -teauing) [ intrans. ] reach a state of little or no change after a time of activity or progress

I have come to terms with being at/on my current plateau... It is part of the artistic process, right? It is a challenging place to be with ones work... I am plugging away at the studio as often as I can in hopes of finding that clue to the next upslope. In the mean time I have been finding quite a few of images I have made on a whim that reference the "greats." So I want to have some fun while here on my plateau... look forward to seeing some fun pairs in the future.... we will start with:
