Letting Go of Little Things: The Final Mini Originals

A Summer of Reassessment

During my summer break from teaching I've been doing more than enjoying the long days and the garden, I've also been taking a hard look at my art business and how it all works for me. Or doesn't. I am a compulsive creator, and sharing hope and healing through my work is at the core of everything I do. But sometimes living that out well means making decisions that simplify and protect the life that makes the art possible in the first place.

So, I've decided to stop creating my Original Mini artworks.

What's Happening & When

I had a few of the 3x3" canvas panels still on hand, and it felt silly not to see them through to completion. But after this last batch, I won't be making any more. When they're finished - likely within the next couple of weeks - I'll do one final release of all my smallest works. There will be fewer than forty pieces altogether, and when they're gone, they're gone.

You can find these Mini Originals in my store now, but not for long.

How to Get First Access

If you've been thinking about adding to your mini collection, or if a small original piece would make the perfect gift for someone this fall, time is running out. I'll be offering the whole group to my email list first, and if you want to be among the first to see them, sign up and comment "Priority" so I know you'd like first dibs.

Small in Size Only

These little pieces carry the same layered history as my larger work: photo transfers, acrylic, color pencil, wax pastel, and ephemera, built up slowly and intentionally on tiny panels. They are small in size only. It has been a joy to make them, and it feels right to send this final group out into the world with that same care and intention before closing this particular chapter.

Some things are worth holding onto. Some things are worth letting go of, so that other things can grow. This is one of those times.

The last of the Mini Originals, still in process.
