2024: The Cascade

It begins with a drop of an idea. A sampling of a future you crave to unravel. A moment of deep breath to begin.

And the second you open the door, the cascade begins.

Artistry is never linear, and rarely exponential. It is chaotic, calm, and often feels like an unsupervised chemistry experiment. The basics may remain the same, but everything in between can change in a moment’s notice, and you must adapt. Artistry survives through trial and error, through joy and heartbreak, and endures the darkness which daily threatens it. And the resistance an artist faces is the daily mountain we must all climb. (We unknowingly signed up to be mountain climbers.) But this is what I face as an artist, and what you as a fellow creative (of your particular medium) are signing up for as well. 2024 was a big year. And there were many big years before it. Moving forward, let’s link arms and roll together, OK?

We’re about to embark on a new year with new challenges and opportunities for each of us, wherever you are in your creative journeys. My aim for this website is to write a couple times a month on the latest happenings, learnings, shows, musings, and anything else that comes across my plate. Be sure to check out Le Blog for those updates.

Above all, remember to keep showing up.
