I’ve thought about that Horace line a lot in the last decade. Life is short. For the lucky folks who love it, the amount of time we have in our bodies is a cruel joke. I’ve always been quite a curious little cat, and I want to experience as many lives as possible within my determined years.

Tomorrow night is our artist reception for Kairos!It’s bittersweet to know that this show is my last big public art shabang before hiding away until our sweet little bundle of joy comes this summer. I’m still plotting new metal ideas and putting in time to fill custom work, so don’t think I’m disappearing completely. I’ll also continue to create new pieces for Artists on Santa Fe gallery.

I’ve kept my focus despite several distractions, including the start of selling my work at Clementine’s Salon in the Highlands, getting ready for Horseshoe Market in Denver on May 10, oh, and CREATING A HUMAN. Although I’m looking forward to focusing on the lattermost task here soon, there’s always some separation sadness when I’m about to part
Sometimes you get stuck. Sometimes you get so stuck that you realize your inability to move is causing you to sink. A cascade of misfortunes starts to build, and you hit what feels like a creative rock bottom. I recently enjoyed one such day, and it caused me to doubt everything I’d been working on for the last few months. My show at Artists on Santa Fe Gallery was a
My name is Emily and I’m a six-months pregnant metalsmith. Some days I get sick. Most days I get tired. Every day some body part I’ve never paid attention to screams out in pain, begging me to trade in my bench for my bed. Still, I hammer on. Puns and all. Other days, I’m feeling especially invincible and decide to take part in a three-person art show this coming May.
