A review of 2024 in pictures

In the quiet time at the very beginning of the New Year, I wanted to send you my warmest wishes for 2025.

This is traditionally a time when we look back over the year that has drawn to a close, as well as looking forward to the year to come. I’d love to share some of my memories and inspirations with you here from my creative path through 2024. Thank you for joining me!

The wet drawn inks are doing their blue dissolve.
On their blotter of fog the trees
Seem a botanical drawing —
Memories growing, ring on ring,
A series of weddings. 

‘Winter Trees’, Sylvia Plath
