Dear Life, I am preparing the studio for new work. Walls are clear except for my Vision Wall where I enjoy adding images and words that inspire and uplift me. I am collecting pollen and petals from flowers for making natural pigments and paper this June and July. The doors of my Soul are open to new experiences of collaboration, creativity, nature, and play.

Dear Life, I am blessed to be an artist with a unique creative voice. (PS we each have a unique voice) Sometimes I scratch my head, wondering what to express. When this happens, I have experience in the practice of making art that tells me, “get out of your head, drop into your heart and move your hand”. Yesterday I tore up brown paper and collaged it onto newsprint. I will follow this energy today. Be In My Heart. Ah, Dear Life!

Dear Life, Thankfully, my foot cooperated in posing for this collage. Let’s hope both feet will stay still long enough for me to paint them. Moving forward, step by step, on Inside Out Figurative project.

Dear Life, After hours of deliberating whether or not to stay in a Contemporary Figurative Painting class, a fellow artist said, “Forget about all the academic work you are seeing here and do your own thing. Open up a magazine, tear it up, and make your figures”. Thank you Roberto. This is why I participate with other artists at the Santa Fe Community College. I am reminded to use my creative voice and “tear it up”! Healthy and happy.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
