To stop hoarding the small paintings that sit quietly on my shelf, waiting.
Some are test swatches, experiments, or half thoughts that never became a “real” piece. But when I look at them now, I see stories, tiny bursts of color and courage that deserve a home.
So, I’ve decided to start releasing them into the world.
Little pieces of me. Little pieces of practice and progress.
I plan to leave them on park benches in my neighborhood park, small gifts for strangers, bits of beauty to stumble upon.
Thank you for reminding me that art isn’t meant to sit in the shadows, it’s meant to be shared, held, and loved.
Glad to see you’re in NYC. I’m just now starting your book. It’s so wonderfully written! Congratulations. I took a workshop from you in Chicago then your online class. But the book is helping me crystallize your joyful process. It will become a treasure.Good luck to you. P.S. I’m the astronomer who you met in Chicago and that big ball in a box on 81st street in NYC was one of my projects. Make sure and go inside the museum and sketch people near the dinosaurs too.
You inspire me to let go.

Put them in Little Free Libraries!
This is a great idea! Thank you
Love the idea of leaving little art works after your book signings! Tiny steps can turn into giant statements (your book)
Thank you so much!
I will be at the urban sketchers meetup on Saturday. So excited to meet you!
See you soon!
