My New Year's Resolution was to SIMPLIFY. Although life with a toddler is definitely chaotic at times (now with baby #2 on the way!), I figured that I could simplify other things in my life to balance all of that wonderful chaos. I had to come up with an Action Plan. First, I need to ORGANIZE -- organize papers and finances and art supplies, closets and boxes and drawers, both at home and the studio. It's definitely an on-going process. Another part of the Action Plan is to PURGE things that I don't use or need. I've started posting art supplies and tools on my Facebook page, so stay tuned for other wonderful random things! I will also be having a joint garage sale in May or June with a friend at the house. The last part of my Action Plan is to TRANSITION. As a mom / artist / educator / gallery owner, I wear a lot of hats. Although I love each of these roles, I realize that part of simplifying means aligning what I am doing with my goals. I would love to get my MFA, but that means that I need to MAKE ART, a whole body of it.
So, how do I afford the time, when so much energy is spent elsewhere?

My new studio space. #makeitwork |
I've decided to close the gallery at 27 Subway. It's been a difficult decision, but a relief in a lot of ways . . . Heather Green Studios will still exist, but in a different form -- perhaps online? Undoubtedly, closing the gallery has opened new doors. I am excited to announce that I am now a
Central School Project artist! The space is solely dedicated to the creation of art. I can also continue programming and curating interesting shows, but with the help of other artists.
This Saturday, April 11th, is my last
Bisbee After 5 as a gallery owner. I'm privileged to have
Zoya Greene's "
Bisbee People Portrait Collection" on the walls -- it's a beautiful way to close a wonderful 4 1/2 years. Although I find myself in the midst of a lot of transition, but am open to letting go and accepting of new opportunities.
