Wow – I really have been delinquent in blog posts. The good news is that it’s because there’s been a lot going on this past month!

Beyond the quality of the work, Sillman has found the sweet spot. It’s abstract with figurative elements, it’s process oriented but narrative, she covers a lot of territory but somehow manages […]
