My friend Jody Guralnick is an active part of the Roaring Fork Valley’s creative community and is one of its most established painters and ceramicists. Her spectacular studio overlooks Castle Creek and is surrounded by a mature Aspen tree grove. Recently, the entire studio dropped by for a sneak peek of her new work and photographed Jody in our new scarves.⁠
⁠
Her landscapes are an ode to the tiny worlds within our world, and to her love of natural history. Jody’s work is imbued with curiosity and engagement. She gathers what she seeks to learn of, creating an enhanced appreciation of the intricacies of the forest floor. ⁠

Jody currently has a show at Michael Warren Gallery in Denver through July 9, 2022.⁠

When one of our children brought home their interest in irrational numbers and mathematical theorems, the excitement was contagious. It is really fun to think of numbers unfurling in space, marching out beyond imagination and light. I was inspired to plot the numbers of pi using a color algorithm – my own take on a color trajectory. I wanted to engage numbers in a new way and found there was an architecture, a different kind of reveal as I painted row after row of colorful lines. I found cadence in irrationality and a new correspondence with color.⁠

I used to assign a journal to each particular activity. One was a sketchbook, another a quote capture journal, another was a to-do journal and diary. I had still another to slip into an evening purse. This system grew rather unwieldy and I grew tired of my heavy backpack. So I decided on a merger. Now my journals hold everything that snags my attention, anything that I need to take care of, every thumbnail sketch or a snippet of writing. I keep one of our list-its by my bedside table for the 2am nocturnal chatter which I transfer into the all-purpose journal. Last week I jotted these down: “Being an artist never quits you.” “Radical listening is all the rage but what about radical observing?” “Don’t forget salsa lessons.”⁠

"Underbelly"⁠
As a child, I was always fascinated with deep sea creatures — mythic or otherwise —anything huge, with tentacles or with teeth. As an adult, this obsession sneaks into my work. Octopus imagery has found its way into my pieces many times. In some cultures, octopuses are associated with death, and in others, with the subconscious. They seem a perfect symbol of secrecy, mystery, and agility. ⁠
