Dear Friends,
Soon after sending out my August newsletter to you, Denise Heischman, founder of The Mill Art Center and Gallery in Honeoye Falls, contacted me and after several conversations, asked if I would like to become the next director there. It is one of those things that felt like it came out of left field, but in fact, I had been seeking this for a while. I’ll be honest, when I said yes, it was from a purely intuitive place. Every time I let my brain in on the decision, I just found myself getting in my own way, that overly protective inner voice was at an all time high with all the reasons not to. Still, I found myself repeatedly driving to The Mill and imagining all the what ifs.
I’ve had the whole month of September to let my decision to really sink in and now it is time to begin my move. I am truly excited to step into this new world and new direction.
I will dearly miss my studio of 20 years at the Anderson Arts Building. If I could hold onto both, I would. The friends I have made there are very special to me and I will miss bopping down the hall to say hello to them with ease.
I also know that my new position at The Mill and studio will ultimately be as rich a place for me, and for all of you. I look forward to welcoming you there. I should be all moved in by the end of October, but you are welcome anytime.
With Love, Kathryn
For those of you who are the Rochester, NY area, please feel free to contact me for a visit. Those of you who live far away, you are certainly welcome, too. I look forward to hosting artists from around the globe at The Mill, which is located in a small western NY town just minutes from the city of Rochester. My personal joy is the drive to and from my new work.
Here's to a beautiful place that I considered my second home.
