  • If I do what I think I’d like to do, I’ll let you know after I do it…! (Art, markets, and more.)
    Mar 31 2023

    Spring is here, which means I’m extra anxieted (anxious + excited!!) It’s all good, though. We’ll get everything done, right? And if we don’t…that’s okay.

    Today I’m rambling about my somewhat newfound appreciation for working with “traditional”/physical art media. And, we’re starting a farmers market!!! Yay!
    The Maize Farm & Art Market: https://facebook.com/maizefarmandartmarket

    (I only briefly mention Wendell Berry in this episode, but if you haven’t heard me go on about him before, you must read his work!!! This is one of my faves by him: https://www.amazon.com/Unsettling-America-Culture-Agriculture-ebook/dp/B013AGWCGU?ref_=ast_author_dp )
