Start of “Composition 18”
On January 3rd, 2014 I had my civil marriage in Des Moines, Iowa. I am legally married! My now husband is originally from Switzerland and ended up finding a full-time job in Zurich. So off to Switzerland we go.
My main focus for now is, of course, my art, as well as, learning German. For the fact that I am not Swiss and don’t know German, it’s difficult to find a job right away. But that’s fine with me because I would rather focus my time on producing more work for my collection. In our new apartment, I have my own space dedicated to my studio where I can work on my paintings. The cool thing is that we’re on the first floor and people walking outside can see me while I paint. This is funny.
For my next pieces, I want to experiment working with a large canvases. For this one, the size that I chose was 140 X 100 cm (metric system now that I am in Europe). Funny fact, I couldn’t have gone bigger even if I wanted to because the canvas almost didn’t fit in the car. But then again, European cars are much smaller than American cars.
