In the Studio RSS

I want to share with you a few of the thoughts behind the song Grow Away. My partner in time and space, Brian DeWeese, and I just released it under the new name Tether the Star.

Life, as a projection of our mind, is meant to crumble. It was never meant to last. Life is a series of detours and beautiful interruptions.  It makes for a great story of our lives! We don’t actually want to zag along in life, we want the universe to put a little zig in our zag.   

I started this painting on a day I felt particularly rejected as a mother. For as high as my pride and love goes up, it can also come down and make me feel defeated, and really at odds with my little people.  The steadfastness of motherly love never changes, but the everyday dance of expectation, joy, pride, connection, and basic “am I doing this right?” sensation is there.

I am going to be hosting two zoom meeting times where I’ll show you around my studio, what I’m working on, and answer questions like “but maëry, what is it?”. I have a selection of works available at 20% off until the end of the month, tax included and free local pickup/delivery and free shipping. I hope you can join me on one or both. Just be sure to register ahead of time.

Artists are all offering you (the world) our vulnerability in some way. It is hard to wear multiple hats and have to switch back and forth between creating from the heart and then letting it go.
