Glass casting. I’ve been exploring how these translucent green and blue figures I made a few years ago interact with each other and the light around them. The sprue system is usually just the functional plumbing, the paths cut into the mold to let the molten glass flow in and air escape, meant to be cut off and ground away. I chose to leave it intact for now. It feels like a cage somehow; not a trap, but a boundary she has placed around herself.
The butterfly, a symbol of transformation, feels like a protective presence. They surround her neck as a sign of love and safety. When I placed her on the stand of butterflies, she instantly felt powerful, as if she had finally found a footing of her own to carry her through life.

I purchased one of Kadito’s bags and every time I use it, people comment how much they love it. So, I thought that I would share it here. Let’s all support this very talented artist and order a bag from Kadito. Kedito’s shop on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/Kedito. Check this artist out. Her bags are wonderful.

Made it home safe after a few days of violent storms in Waikiki, Hawaii. Glad to be home safe and dry.

I am spending time sketching and sipping pineapple juice in Galveston today. For 2026, I find myself asking, ‘Who are you no longer willing to be, and where do you want to find joy?’ Complicated questions for complicated times.

The pencil in my hand feels more honest than the noise of the world lately. As the tide pulls back from the shore, it isn’t dramatic; it’s patient, and it simply takes what’s loose. I’m deciding which versions of myself to let it carry away, and which seeds I’m finally ready to plant.

As I move forward in my work, I am thinking through the body and the making rather than through the noise of explanation. I want more space for intuition. I want a strengthening of material knowledge. And I want meaning that reveals itself slowly. I want the work to speak before I do.

I am going through some old portfolio sketches in preparation for the student sale at Glassell next week. These are from my past life studying fashion. It seems like they are from a whole lifetime ago.
