Settled

Officially settled in Madison...thank goodness. All is great! My studio is all put back together, ready to start mass creation!

Got Moving!

The moving process is under way! My studio has been completely disassembled. T-minus 6 days before I can get working again.

Gestures of the Heart

I now have my own line of blank greeting cards! Check out what I have created so far on my website www.laurapahlas.com

The cards are prints from my original work. Most of them are gesture drawings done in ink and watercolor. I am toying with the connection between the spontaneous nature of gesture drawing and a spontaneous gesture of sending someone a card out of the blue...or on a special occasion. That is my inspiration right now anyway. This venture will continue to grow. I may even extend into the realm of custom design for invitations, etc...not sure yet.

Good bye to the Northwoods

Our northwoods adventure is coming to an end. We are moving to Madison in 12 days! We are really excited, but it is somewhat bittersweet. I will miss the woods and water and silence of Rhinelander. It has been great. On the other hand, Madison is great too. We have to go where opportunity calls us. I really think it would be a frustrating waste to stick it out up north where there are very few jobs. (Joe and I both have jobs in our field in Madison--although mine is very part time.) I may think differently if I were a hunting/boating/fishing enthusiast--sadly, I am not.
So, thank you woods and water and silence for your comfort and solitude. I will think of you always.
