The Sunday Night Digest = me + glass of wine + reflection on the previous weeks ongoings and a glimpse into happenings next week. You're Welcome. 

Alright, this one is going to be short and sweet and incredibly late although I think we get a pass on time during daylight savings. But I want to congratulate everyone on making it through another mercury retrograde! Tomorrow we should feel some relief in areas of communication and with the first of three super moons in a row, I think we will see some of our own bigger personal issues starting to find some resolution. If you believe in that sort of thing.

My biggest case of fomo for 2020 is missing the NewportFILM Friend-raiser. Congratulations to Loren Hope, their presenting sponsor, for creating such an amazing 80s bedroom which became the evening’s backdrop for a makeshift photo-booth! Be sure to sign up for NewportFILM’s mailing list here to keep in the loop for all of their upcoming events and check out Loren Hope’s website here where her RAD pins are still available and benefit NewportFILM

Our friends and new neighbors, Harper & Tucker, had the grand opening of their shop on Saturday and it was delightful! They really made the space their own and the light and stunning color is just so so good. You must stop in the next time you’re in the neighborhood!

I am amidst stocking the shop with dozens of spring refresh items including some great art and objects curated by your truly. Since returning to Rhode Island in February I have made it a goal to finish all of the half finished paintings and concepts in my studio before buying new materials. It has been inspiring and a great motivation. Finishing work that has been in the works in the studio for what seems like ages is like spending time with old friends. It has been magical to see them come to life and I am excited to share some of them with you here along with my top picks for spring. 

Happy weekend from our family to yours
See you in the gallery and online.
Much love XO Kristen
