Dear Creatives,
Our current situation takes me back to the last time I found myself
in the "unknown" for an extended period of time. It was 2003 when
I had big plans for the year. I had just finished building my new
Southern California studio and printed 300 giant postcards,
with exciting events for 2004.
On Oct 26, 2003 the cedar firestorm raged through our lives;
burning our studio and home to the ground, wiping out my
carefully planned events for the next three years.
We weren't alone, over 300,000 homes were burned and
16 lives lost. It devastated communities county wide.
Things came to a standstill as communities helped wildfire
survivors sift through the ashes of their lives and mourn the
loss of people, animals, nature and homes.
The home and studio I had built, and the calendar I had so
carefully planned, was all up in smoke. I turned to my visual
journal for solace, trying to find ease in the chaos that was my life.
