Faces of the Arts in Broward County
August will mark the fourteenth anniversary of my divorce. Officially marking the same length of time my former spouse and I were married. The marriage provided a sanctuary of material comforts. When it ended so to did the luxuries I had grown accustomed to.
Downsizing would not begin to accurately reflect my change in circumstance. No more alphabetically stocked pantry, no color coded linen closet, no household help, no house, and certainly no place to paint anymore.
One year ago after applying, I was awarded a space at Studio 18. Then a newly opened, newly renovated studio and gallery space for emerging and mid-career artists in Pembroke Pines. While my divorce caused me to let go of many cherished possessions what my ex-husband could not take was my talent.
And while I continue to live in a tiny apartment my vision has expanded because of my cherished studio which affords me the space to create work as a painter and belong to a community of like-minded colleagues.
