My jewelry is now on display along with my paintings and prints, at the Art Study in University Village, Seattle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br />FlatTire Jewelry began as a gift. Creating jewelry for friends to celebrate our joy-filled adventures on bikes was the beginning. Then I was asked to teach a workshop at the Seattle Art Museum about using recycled bicycle parts to make Art. The response that I got from that workshop inspired me to take the collection a step further into and closer to my painting and printmaking practice. I have named the second collection, “From the Forest to the Sea” because like my larger works, it is inspired by moving through the landscape and gratitude for each step, glide, stroke, and spin along the way. </div>

I registered for my first 50K today while taking a break from this painting, which is in progress and part of the trail series I am working on. This series is a continuation of the forest scenes inspired by the miles I run in them here in the Northwest but with more of a focus on the specific plants and wildlife that lives in these landscapes. The woodblock prints in the post below this one are going to go into this painting soon.

I love going back and forth between large and small scale. These are studies on paper of the birds that find their way into my larger works. I cherish their presence on my runs and rides through the forest and love spending time studying them through these paintings, sketches and observation from many other sources.Janet Faganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00693117632377908595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978272121996234142.post-88826955700802899752015-08-18T14:23:00.000-07:002015-08-18T14:23:57.195-07:00Through the woods, up the Mountain, Around the Lake.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

One of my favorite things about travel is being exposed to new landscapes and wild-life. On a recent trip to Namibia, Africa, every day was filled with birds, animals, people, sounds, textures and terrain that were unknown to me, and have filled my heart with their presence. Here is a link to the blog that James and I created to share this epic adventure. With over 1,000 photographs between us, journal notes and sketches, the blog merely scratches the surface of this experience, but the inspiration from this journey will surely shape how I move forward, so I am sharing it here and giving thanks for the richness of all life and the gift of being able to experience its deep variations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dankie, Namibia.</div>

Seattle is hosting Spring early this year, and with it comes the recognition that it has almost one year since my mom, Ena Fagan, died. The last twelve months have been rich with opportunities for growth and reflection. In celebration of this wonderful life - all that is lost and all that is received - I offer thanks for two wonderful shows in Twisp at Confluence this past Winter, opportunities unfolding around me each day, and the excitement of new work to share now. The smaller works on paper don't have real titles yet, but they continue my small format exploration of wildlife from the places I remember as, and call Home.Janet Faganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00693117632377908595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978272121996234142.post-13591090627705324132014-11-13T14:56:00.003-08:002014-11-13T14:59:31.093-08:00Holiday Show! <div style="text-align: justify;">

My "Winter Bird" series continues with these 5" x 5" and 12" x 12" mixed-media pieces. Thank you to those of you that have expressed interest in and purchased these pieces as I preview them on social media. Your support is hugely appreciated! <br />
<br />
I am looking forward to my first exhibit with Confluence Gallery in Twisp, WA, which opens on April 26th. It is a group show with a Corvidae theme, so some of these pieces may find their way to Twisp. I am so excited to exhibit in such a gorgeous part of the world, and in a town where good friends have created true magic and filled my heart to bursting on treasured trips, over and over again.

I am shaping my days in Florida with an intention of being as present as I can be with my family while I am here. To that end, I have set up a pattern of wooded morning runs and evening solitude to process and express all that these times bring. What a treasure these days are - I look deep into the heart of each moment and welcome the shining truth that waits there with open arms.

<span style="font-size: small;">A pocket full of miniatures, inspired by the rewards of open eyes and ears. The top one is the piece I consider most successful and I look forward to following its lead. I am enjoying painting animals again - it has been a while since I have considered them as motifs, and approaching them in this very delicate way is rewarding and giving me inspiration for the days when I can return to a larger scale. For now, these small works are allowing to continue making while other parts of my life demand attention. They are reminders for me to watch and listen as I witness and facilitate change.</span></div>

The images of running darkness in - from day to dusk to quiet night - is what inspires much of my work. Transition. Contrast. What is left and what is taken. What is found and what is given. The emotional imprint of moving through the world. </span><br />

Fall begins and as the rains start and the days shorten, time expands and the Harvest Moon hangs in the sky. As I explore this series of miniature works on paper with printmaking, painting and collage - slowly finding the rhythm of making within the rain - core motifs return to speak. Moon, landscape, bird. These are the voices of inside. The voices of always but particularly now - this Fall of large moons, flocking birds, and grey skies striped with the armatures of trees.

School is out and in cleaning out my studio-classroom I enjoyed re-discovering the many demos that I did throughout the year for my wonderful students. Here is a small monoprint that I had put aside.<br />
It was also wonderful to be able to take home several lovely pieces of work to remember my students' efforts by. Their discarded proofs are now my happy treasures. I decided not to return to this Jr. High in the Fall so that I can re-align myself with my long-term goals of arranging my professional life in ways that best support my practice. The movement of Life continually asks me to readjust and find balance in fluidity and grace. I love this repeated request and will not stop moving to meet it.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Wind, waves, the repetition of trees, inhaling - exhaling. All of life is pattern and rhythm. I have found myself since September in a place where studio time is like the white crow or the volunteer Chestnut tree in an ornamental garden. It is rare and it breaks the expectation of the pattern, but it is still a part of the larger design. Right now I am practicing gratitude for the abundance of other satisfying work that I have. My sporadic blog posts reflect this place of plenty and honor my intention to not force my relationship to my practice to remain fixed. It will change as it always has, as I do, while simultaneously remaining constant and deeply a part of my purest self.</span></div>
