    I Am Because You Are

    I have always been drawn to the Monarch butterfly.  When I first started developing a body of work in college, monarchs and dreams were some of my earliest topics.  I researched both for their powerful symbolism and connection to the psyche.  On screen, I attached the...

    My brain never stops.  I am constantly being pulled in a thousand directions.  Kids crying, smiling, planning, playing.  Cleaning, cooking, shopping, doing.  Oh and keeping connected with my better half and ever distant close friends. It never ends.  A constant cycle o...

    Today I wanted to share an excerpt from a book I have coming out at the end of August, "Natural Art and Explorations".  This book has been a joy to write because in it I get to relive and put into words all the wonderful collections, projects, and adventures that have...

    Just like everything else that we strive to do in our lives, our website should be authentic.  It should truly represent who we are and what we believe in.  However, one can be authentic but still miss the mark in terms of professionalism and functionality.   The desig...

    To Etsy or Not to Etsy?

    Jessica Wascak

    I think the possibility of selling work on Etsy passes through the minds of many an artist.  I had opened up a shop about five years ago but quickly lost interest when other shiny objects came into view.  This year I put it on my list again and thought I would give it...

    Jessica Wascak

    I started my first blog back in 2008.  I was about to start a two month artist residency in Santa Fe and I wanted to have a way to document my experience and artwork progression.  I had no expectations with this blog, it was a personal journal of sorts.  Just me, writi...

    Artist - Collector - Curator

    Jessica Wascak

    A Curator is a collector.  They collect images, yes, but more than that they collect thoughts.  Their own thoughts and those of the artist's they are choosing to group together in one space. What I find really interesting about curating is the ability to collect and in...

    After being on the tenure track train for ten years workshops seemed like a refreshing way to stay connected to teaching without the baggage.

     

    Workshops: short bursts of high energy art making. 

     

    Love it.

    Jessica Wascak

    As artists we are taught early on to seek out a commercial gallery if we want to sell our work.  But...no one really explains how to do this and what to watch out for if we do somehow find our way into one.  I have to admit I kind of fell into a local gallery that ende...

    The dreamy world of being an artist.  It goes something like this: sleep in, wake up slowly, drink coffee and get inspired, lounge around making work in the studio all day, have an amazing dinner, lots of wine and great conversation before drifting off to sleep - only...
