Sabatical
During the 2019-2020 school year my family and I decided to put our things in storage, put our home up for rent and live in Latin America. We had chosen Oaxaca, Mexico and Cuzco, Peru. I had designated one of our large suitcases for art supplies, and luckily our kids were smaller then and we only needed one other large suitcase! I was able to buy additional materials in both locations and set up space to have a daily painting practice. We had time to experience local art and culture. I was inspired by the stark contrast in lifestyle. The air felt different, the land and light had a different color, and the language and culture exposed a a fresh perspective. During this period I was careful to paint what felt relevant to me at the time.
