Due to life demands, studio time can be sporadic. Instead of giving up, I decided a while back to be as intentional as I can be with what I'm given.
.
I have also been blessed over the years by some of the best encouragement when I needed it most.

Today's mother/son date just might have involved mock MRIs and touching actual brains at the Center for Advanced Brain Imaging... an attempt to keep my teen son engaged and thinking I am anything but boring.

Thanks to the Atlanta Science Festival!

While assessing base sketches for my next painting project, I received some unsolicited (and lively) feedback from my husband walking by. But really he has good ideas.

I would have NEVER imagined that "Shelter in Place", painted in 2020 while I was under Covid lockdown would go from being featured in my back yard to the current front cover of Springer Medizin's "The Neurologist" medical journal in Germany! Still shaking my head in disbelief of the amazing journey.
.
Note to self: Doing your best to sow small seeds in your own back yard just might grow into something you never imagined.

Went on a walk in the woods with my family and interacted with the art of Kristine Mays. @kristinemays
.
Formed from hundreds of individual pieces of wire, Kristine Mays has developed a way of expressing the human form through wire.
"... My artwork points to the soul and spirit, transporting the viewer into another place. It's about reconnecting to a deeper purpose -- the soul and spirit of our lives. I transform hard rigid wire into soft flowing movement. I create the outer shell, the exterior of a human being, but provoke you to see what's within. Memories and the way we have loved one another far outweigh our status or possessions -- and yet sometimes a simple dress or a body in motion may trigger a memory from the past, allowing us to visit that which has imprinted our lives." - Kristine Mays

Stressful day so I went for a brief walk to clear my head, catching a few moments of the sunset. I came back feeling refreshed and then discovered some supporting research...
.
Takeaway: Watch the sunset more often. Sunrise too if you can. It is good for you.

Enjoyed listening to this podcast today and can't recommend it enough. Rich content for anyone to benefit from and a great option for those who don't have the time to read her book, "The Grieving Brain". I found O'Connor's distinction between grief and grieving to be really enlightening.

Have really appreciated opportunities this week to connect with people, albeit virtually, on valuable topics. One was with a group in Dallas, to share about my experience seeing art connect people. The other was with a group of artists in Budapest, Hungary presenting the topic of 'Giving and Receiving Feedback'.
.
My person and craft thrives on such interactions.

My daughter has low muscle tone, and it is taking years of physical therapy to build up her core. I just noticed her posture at the easel... and it is so much better than mine!

My memories threw me back to 2 years ago when the weather looked much the same as today. "Flares in Fog" is just as fitting for me on this sluggish Monday morning.

Hoping the brain fog lifts soon and my vision for the week clears.

Had coffee today with a neuroscientist I met while exhibiting art at the Society of Neuroscience forum in CA last year.
.
Cheers to those in gene and regenerative cell therapy like my new friend at BrainXell Therapeutics in San Diego. What they do will blow your mind.

The paintbrush is laid down and studio work set aside this week to accompany my daughter to an intensive therapeutic program. It isn't easy to balance always, but such responsibilities and life experiences inform and inspire the art I make.

When @thepathphd generously sends you her very own research images from the lab to collaborate ... and also teaches you what you are looking at. ❤️

So much scientific eye candy for this artist! Now to learn about the Tau protein and translate this all into inspiration for a piece of art.
.
So much appreciation for Kimberly Fiock, M.S. investing in Experimental Pathology at Hefti Lab

Trying to paint the brain without it looking too clinically brainy is a challenge I enjoy. Here is a detail from a recent painting, zoomed in on the cerebellum. Who says the brain can't be represented in a full array of colors?
Fun fact:
Your cerebellum is only about 10% of your brain in terms of how much space it takes up. However, it holds about half of all the neurons in your entire body. They’ve also found that your cerebellum plays a role in emotions and how you make decisions.

So grateful and excited to have my art featured by Springer Medizin's publication, "The Neurologist" - a German medical specialist journal covering both the neurological and psychiatric fields.
.
It is only delivered to medical doctors, clinics, medical societies etc. - a current print circulation of approx. 20.000 but also available online by subscription!
.
12 issues per year, 6 of which are neurology-themed and will feature different paintings of mine throughout 2023!
Thank you to @springermedizin @springerpflege

Microscopic studies continue in my studio... I am completely smitten with the seed ball from the sweet gum tree, which has been the bane of our yard's existence and judged harshly after murdering our lawn mower.
.
After viewing it's unexpected beauty up close, it has inspired the base sketch for a new painting. The organic lines and form remind me of a neuron or a particular famous virus. And braided accents and color change as it dries has been delicious.
.
So much of life you just don't know until you take the time to look. Stay curious.
