About
In an nutshell, I’m roughly 8 months pregnant, just finished my fine art degree, and am doing a 4 week residency at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts – a beautiful spot about an hour and half from our home in Halifax, Nova Scotia (close enough for any labour emergency – hopefully).
Normally my blogging life revolves around the endless renovating of our old house:

But for the next 4 weeks, it’s going to be all about my art practice (you can see more of it here: www.carlybutler.com – though part of what I need to do is update my web-site while I have some time). Apparently once you have a baby indulging in 4 solid weeks of art making just isn’t possible. Go figure.
So, this is my last ‘hurrah’ – at least for a while.
Apart from the more involved projects I’ll be working on that were part of my residency proposal, I’m also going to try and make a work of art every day for the next 4 weeks. Some might lead to a more finished work later, some of it might be cringe-worthy awful. It doesn’t matter. The point is to keep me working, keep me motivated. Let’s see what happens…
WOW — an ambitious and inspirational undertaking! I’ll be rooting for you!
