The Fleeting Memories Project
Starting on January first 2022, I proposed creating a digital drawing or short animation on each day of the year.
​
I find that I draw or create in some form everyday and by challenging myself with this project I was attempting to form a somewhat cohesive body of work.
​
Given that my work is most often narrative in nature I felt that a long-term project like this would provide deeper insight into my life as an artist, mother, and special needs advocate. I hoped that this project would allow me to share who I am and my feelings and stories in a way that provides my audience with the incentive to explore their own stories.

Part one of this project is now complete. I managed to create a work each day of 2022 and I am sure that I will cherish this collection, and it's accompanying stories forever. I learnt a lot about myself this year, my motivations and interests. I was also able to streamline my artistic practices and become more knowledgeable with my digital practice.
​
Thank you to everyone who has followed along with my project, your comments and support were wonderful.

Update:
​
In May of 2024 I was fortunate to be able to show this entire collection together at Gympie Regional Gallery. The exhibition was hung like a calendar and I remember feeling like the audience was walking around inside my brain.
As an extension of the idea that memories were fleeting I decided to give away each image for free ( at the end of the exhibition) to the audience if they wrote a small note indicating why they liked the piece.
By the exhibitions end, nearly half of the images found new homes and I gathered a lovely little collection of notes about my pieces.
The button below will lead you to all the photos, videos and audience notes from the exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery.
