My New Studio
With all the craziness in the news and concern over whether I’ll have a job, I decided to test out my retirement plan. I opened my studio! It’s not imaginary any more. Lula Harp Creative Art is live. The last six weeks I have been busting my butt, moving furniture, & getting set up. I…

Art as Meditation
I’m doing the 100 Day Project as part of my daily art practice. I’m on a Kindness Cards bender. Some are feel-y and some are snarky, but all of them are cathartic. I come home after work and sit down for an hour or two with glue and paint. I can tune out the politics…
