My sweet Nala, thank you for your forgiveness and courage during our two moves in less than 6 weeks. We’re finally home 🤎

Some unfinished experimental work from about a year ago. I was just starting to play around with watercolor. Hoping to incorporate more of this medium in future pieces.

Heron and egret rookery on the Mississippi River. Truly awesome to see and hear! These beautiful birds migrate back to this same spot every spring to nest 😊🩶🤍

Last set of photos from my trip to Norway in Jan/Feb of this year: This is the artists’ residence (kunstnerhuset) where I stayed for 2 weeks in Svolvær, Lofoten. The house has been available for artists since 1953. The facilities are basic, but they have wifi,10 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a communal kitchen and lounge, and laundry. For art-making space, there were two, large “ateliers” or studios with views out to the sea and the mountains in all directions. Because I went in the winter, it was very quiet and there were only 2 other guests in the entire house. I was so lucky to have one of the art studios all to myself—which was both wonderfully peaceful and eerily beautiful. I sat in there every day, writing, drawing, reading, and gazing out the windows at the gigantic, snow covered mountains that grew from the sea. It was the most romantic thing I’ve ever done for myself, lol. It was an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. And I would love to go back one day! 🤍

February 6-9, 2023: Spent the final few days of my trip back down in Oslo. I was pretty homesick by week 3 of being away but I was trying my best to stay present, and enjoy the end of my journey. I walked around a lot and ate many delicious foods. My favorite place I went to was a craft beer bar called Brewgata. It had such a warm, welcoming vibe, amazing beer and music. Chatted with some really cool people there too! On my last day in Norway, I was ready to head home. The hardest part of being away—by far—was missing the animals at home. I missed my dog Alfie so much all I could think about was seeing his big cute face and cry-laughing while I hug and squeeze him and get so many wet face kisses 🥰 Anyway! I’ll go back to Norway one day… and for sure back to Lofoten. Not quite ready to sum up the whole trip experience right here and now, but yeah… I’m really grateful I was able to do it. 💗✨🇳🇴❄️🚞🛩️⛴️🗻🧊💫🌊🌛🍻💪🫠🌌🤍🎨🦊🌙

February 5, 2023: After 2 weeks in Solvær, Lofoten it was time take the ferry to Bodø and fly back down to Oslo. My last night at the artist residence was restless. The last day was really hard. I will miss the boundless beauty Lofoten has to offer, but I was happy to be heading home soon. The ferry took just over 3 hours and I thought it would be a really cool way to leave Lofoten but boy was I wrong! After just 5 minutes into the trip I started getting sea sick. I moved seats to an area the staff said would have less movement, but it only got worse from there. I spent the entire trip with my head down on the table, listening to some YouTube video over and over again. I couldn’t lift my head to look out a window without feeling like I was going to puke. I was holding it together, but just barely. It was awful. The last 30 minutes of the ferry ride was the worst because that’s when we had to cross the open sea, and where the water was the roughest. After nearly 3 hours of enduring the worst nausea of my life, I finally gave in and ran to the bathroom to puke my guts out. Lesson learned. I was so relieved when we docked and the helltrip was finally over. I took a cab to the airport and had a short flight back down to Oslo. Made it to my hotel and tried to fall asleep without feeling the waves rocking me back and forth and back and forth… like a ghost’s wicked lullaby.

I was holding it together, but just barely. It was awful. The last 30 minutes of the ferry ride was the worst because that’s when we had to cross the open sea, and where the water was the roughest. After nearly 3 hours of enduring the worst nausea of my life, I finally gave in and ran to the bathroom to puke my guts out. Lesson learned. I was so relieved when we docked and the helltrip was finally over. I took a cab to the airport and had a short flight back down to Oslo. Made it to my hotel and tried to fall asleep without feeling the waves rocking me back and forth and back and forth… like a ghost’s wicked lullaby.

February 5, 2023: After 2 weeks in Solvær, Lofoten it was time take the ferry to Bodø and fly back down to Oslo. My last night at the artist residence was restless. The last day was really hard. I will miss the boundless beauty Lofoten has to offer, but I was happy to be heading home soon. The ferry took just over 3 hours and I thought it would be a really cool way to leave Lofoten but boy was I wrong! After just 5 minutes into the trip I started getting sea sick. I moved seats to an area the staff said would have less movement, but it only got worse from there. I spent the entire trip with my head down on the table, listening to some YouTube video over and over again. I couldn’t lift my head to look out a window without feeling like I was going to puke.
