They say that the universe has a sense of humor, and that one should never say "Never". Well here I am, an artist who has, on this very site, stated that I wouldn't commit to a blog. And of course, it's funny to find myself committing to a blog, albeit simply for a year. In reality, this project arose from a pact with a dear friend, as a way to share my experiences with family & friends while I live in London for graduate school. And I have no idea what the primary focus will be.
Living in London?
Graduate school angst?
Culture shock?
Love letters to Old Masters paintings?
Odes to the Victoria & Albert Museum?

Probably all of the above and then some!
But I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to call London "home" while focusing on painting and growing my work. My MFA program starts in September, however my very first trip to the UK is this spring, to go house hunting. So I figured I might as well start now...

Well taken initiative! Our experiences are twice as rich when we penn them down. Looking forward to more. And do not forget that the first step to a journey starts from home.

    Hi, I'm Romi. I'm an American artist who lives & works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have the amazing opportunity to live in London while working on a MFA program in painting and decided to blog about the experience. So here we go!
