Greetings from the Studio! I could use your help, art fan! As we enter the season of eating and napping, I could use some direction for when I come out of hibernation in 2020. I currently have 4 (!) series of work that I have started over the past couple years (I think my inner artist has ADHD), and I want to know which one you think I should focus more energy on, rather than spin off and start a whole new one. The four series are: 1. The Goddess/Saint/Heroine Series: Icon Illustrations of the Feminine Archetype (currently have 3 completed) 2. Vexed: a Re-telling of Tragic Shakespeare Heroines (currently have 3 completed) 3. Angry Bee Girls (currently have 4 completed) 4. Our-topia: Envisioning a Hopeful Future (currently have 3 completed) You can see examples below.I have many, many ideas for each series.... but do you have a fave? I'm curious to find out! Here's a survey!

It’s a toss up between the icons & Shakespeare. Which of them has been more commercially viable for you?

I love them all, but I especially love the Goddesses/Saints/Heroines. They are so compelling and speak to us over the ages. I think they are wonderful for young girls to be inspired by! Of course, I love Shakespeare too, and Our-Topia is timely and important.

Thank you so much Patricia for your feed back! The goddesses have been a popular choice in my wee poll. :-)

I LOVE the angry bees - but feel like the our-topia series is where it’s at - forward focused and a little more positive. The other two series are beauteous as well but I hate it when I ask “what do you want for dinner?” And everyone replies “I don’t care...” so I will give you this! Have a happy December break!

I am a fan of all of your work....but your Ourtopia piece is just stunning.....so much movement and stillness and focus and connection and love. Thanks for imagining it.
