For the past two years this blog has documented my efforts to complete a Master of Fine Art while living with chronic fatigue syndrome. Now the masters is finished I'll continue to make art and try to work out how to balance some sort of art career with my health. The blog will continue to focus on artists books and ceramics, trying out new (to me)art techniques, a bit of soul searching and thinking aloud, but hopefully no whining!
