I'm Published!

I co-authored an article on  Construction Waste Reduction for Pharmaceutical Engineering Magazine's sustainable issue.  It's actually in print!  I can't to wait to receive my copy.  It's these kind of opportunities that pop up at my firm that make me glad I accidentally found an architectural gig in an engineering firm.

Construction Waste Reduction
by Jessica Cochran and Alicia Pandimos Maurer
This case study presents the strategies and outcomes of implementing a plan to divert waste from the landfill and back into the supply chain during construction for building demolition waste reduction.

The entire article can be read online in the September/October Issue

Time in Between

A couple of months ago I started 2 new paintings.  I was already working on a follow-up to the Chicken painting.  Then things got busy.  Work.  Social life.  A bit of travel.  A sad attempt to salvage a vacation-less summer. Career.  Studying for the Architectural Registration Exam.
My sister and 3 of her kids had plans to come to visit for a night and I realized that our house was disgusting.  Our second room is our studio space.  It is also our guest room.   The corners seemed full of cat hair and incense.  I noted last month that the bottoms of my feet were dirty just from walking around.  And wasn't just me-the cat had left some paw prints on the window sills too.  3 days of cleaning and we were ready for guests.  Bonus:  my studio is tidy and ready for some projects... 


It's time for Fall.  All the filler will start to fall away, leaving space to think and imagine. Time to organize.  Time to buckle down and be productive.  Finish some things.  Get ready to make make new resolutions.  Time to move on.  Oh, how I love moving on...
