its not just a place.

so, i guess i need another blog. seriously? yes.

i do like trios. cats. kids. not in weird innuendo ways (mike). three blogs seems about right. i love how it is an instantaneous record of my life. a quick way to scrapbook and document things that are important. i needed one more space to document what doesn't fit into the wren and children category. and although wren (and friends) is a huge part of my life, there are other parts. this is where everything else goes. no strict guidelines. no rules. just the way i like it.

studio 402. the studio i shared in lowertown with ekate. and my mom. the place where as an adult i rekindled my passion for creativity. and my friendship with erin. i learned to honor my art, and my much needed time for creating, as being more than a side gig. as being an essential part of who i am and who i always want to be.

this does not mean i want to mass produce any part of myself in order to make money. nor do i want any of my creativity to become a chore, or an inconvenience, or a career. i simply want to acknowledge that my brain and soul is not constructed exactly the same as any other single persons (although there are a few connections in my life who come amazingly close to sameness) and that it is most important to live my life being me. completely. creatively. nonsensically. passionately. perhaps paycheck to paycheck. possibly outside of societal norms. hopefully with overwhelming optimism. constantly seeking absolute happiness, and continually trying to evolve...into my whole self.

although we couldn't swing the cost of studio 402 (big surprise), we knew that the conversation, ideas, and art generated there were of utmost importance and needed to thrive. it was not just a place.

and thus, this blog. studio 402. a place for me to document my evolving. my creating. my inspiration. my family. my friends. my baby (what? she can be on all three blogs!) things i like. sights i see. sites i see. anything i dont want to forget. everything i want to remember. a quick and easy snapshot of life.
