Studio Visit With Madeleine Dodge

Madeleine is one of the most inspiring people I know. She is thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and has raised three wonderful boys (one of which to whom I am fortunate to be married). She radiates beauty and light.

 Madeleine is also a life-long practicing artist, and is devoted to her work as a creator. When we were in Denver for Christmas, I asked to go to her studio. It was a visit that was very much overdue. 

 There are few things I love more than being able to get a glimpse into the creative process of others, and this studio visit was especially meaningful and exciting for me. I hope you enjoy these images of our time together.

As we close 2013, and enter the New Year, I wish you many fulfilling, creative, moments in 2014. 

(Thank you Madeleine).

After reading the print article on Mark Borthwick in the Spring '13 issue of Inventory Magazine , I've been inspired to take more photographs on my "real" camera again, and to utilize this space more.

Maybe even take film photographs... who knows (that's half the fun!)? 

All photographs above taken by me, in December, 2013.
