Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! My hope is that this will be a place for me to reflect on my work and for you to see what I have been up to in the studio! I'd like to welcome you with some words from a poem by Derek Walcott. Some images from the studio will follow soon!

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott
