Category Archives: creative tools It felt like a week away, but it was only two days! “Kairos” time is determined not by the amount of time you spend, but by your presence and focus. Sometimes when I am painting, a lot can happen in a half an hour and it seems like a couple of hours: or I can… show 5 comments

Marisa, 
You’re always inspiring! I’m so glad that you’re finding the time to create your artwork and travel. As always, your work has such a light and airy feeling! Beautiful. I had the opportunity of going to MoMA yesterday evening. I was actually there for a lecture on economics!

Sally - Beth,
I find snippets of visual stimulation cropping up in my work – a college textbook cover pattern from long before I was weaving with ribbon, for example. But in my case, I am not consciously calling up a memory in order to represent it. I’ll pay more attention and see if there is more of a correlation that I am not aware of!
Beautiful series.
(I must return your book!)
chironarts - Great Works, Beth!!!
