Diane Krys: Myth Busting
I love  new sketchbooks. Their sweet promises get me every time; they whisper; art will  happen; a visual feast coming soon.   I pine to have an artfully messy  catalogue of my creative impulses and musings, yet my sketchbooks remain mostly empty.

So Lorna sits in the back of the studio next to the big old painting I made a few years ago. I have three other blank canvases to fill but have not. She also works part time for Mansours, and Damaris which are both right … Read entire article »
