holy moly, it’s the LAST DAY of my solo show @carbondalearts “Self-Reflected Universe”! Thanks to all of you who have visited in person or taken the virtual tour (see link in my bio to the exhibition page for the tour and the online shop). It’s been a great 4 weeks!! I also want to send a special shoutout to @sawstudio for being the show sponsor! SAW is a community of 20+ artists (I’ve had a studio there for nearly 7 years now!) and it’s wonderful to have a place like this in Carbondale for working artists...I even hear there is an available studio right now! I so appreciate all the support each of you have given me over the course of this past month, and look forward to what is next on my artistic path...exciting! ✨🚀🪐 #selfreflecteduniverse #carbondalearts #r2gallery #astronautart #artistwiththeart #carbondalecreativedistrict (at Carbondale Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF11h_6lLGL/?igshid=1i29xp2s09dd6

“Too Many Wasted Days and Nights”, watercolor on paper. One of several smaller works part of “Self-Reflected Universe” @carbondalearts through Oct 2. Sometimes I get distracted with projects that may not be what I’m passionate about, and then days or weeks later suddenly realize I want to move on because life is short. But I’ve always loved #antoinedesaintexupery ‘s “wasted time” concept since it really is the small things that can make the most difference sometimes. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” (The Little Prince) • • • PS: title comes from lyrics in the song “Ancient Water” by @futureislands from the 2017 album “The Far Field”. 🚀 #selfreflecteduniverse #toomanywasteddaysandnights #astronautart #selfportrait #watercolor #carbondalecreativedistrict #blastoff @carbondalearts (at Carbondale Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdSM_fD6sX/?igshid=1nw59ropcvcqd

Mondays...just keeping those balls in the air, amiright? Interactive painting “I’m Going Through Changes Now” is up now through October 2 @carbondalearts R2 Gallery as part of my solo exhibition “Self-Reflected Universe”. The nine spinnable heads reflect the nine personality types of the #enneagram and can be purchased individually...or just get the whole installation, why not?! The title is based off lyrics from the song “Changes”, by @langhorneslim on the 2015 album “The Spirit Moves”. ✨🚀✨ #selfreflecteduniverse #imgoingthroughchangesnow #astronautart #acryliconpanel #jugglestruggle #interactiveart #r2gallery #carbondalearts #carbondalecreativedistrict #carbondaleco #coloradocreative (at Carbondale Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZ4O7ODDO6/?igshid=69ot5ak7tmt3
