My word for 2023 is “Possibility.”
This summer, I began kayaking regularly on the LI sound. It was a joy to explore the waters and see my home turf from a new and different perspective.
Beginning a new hobby opened my mind and helped me to see what possibilities might lie ahead. I want to apply that feeling of serendipity to other areas of my life and work.
Do you have a word for 2023?
In the spirit of sharing – It’s me, on a typical day — And I’m wearing matching socks! I feel very fortunate to have this space… surrounded by inspirational art, vintage objects, and wonderful natural light.
Here’s the Nickel Tour!
A: Silkscreen print I made while taking printmaking
classes at SVA in NYC. (2007-ish)
B: My child’s (now, 12!) art.
And more creations from awesome folks I admire.
C: I ditched the inkjet for an HP home-office
laser printer a few years ago, and I love it.
D: Saguaro Forms & Cactus Flowers Puzzle.
Part of a line of products I designed for Galison and The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
E: Pantone Books on a mid-century modern serving cart
(found curbside!)
Thanks for stopping by!
Wishing you much love and peace this Thanksgiving.
Along with cooking yummy recipes and spending time with family, I plan to take some time to nurture my inner artist by making more collages this weekend. I have a boxes of vintage ephemera I’ve collected over the years — waiting to be repurposed into new art. The above “Acorns” is one I created last Fall. ♥
I just scored a new work table — found roadside with a big, cardboard “FREE” sign on it. It’s a perfect addition to my home office.
