Wow, July has been something else!

Neil Matthiessen and I at the Colorimetry show on view thru Aug 9

August is already here and it came in on Julys last hot dying breath. Temps in the 100's daily! This month will see me closing out my two shows that are up right now.
The first one to close is COLORIMETRY at WAAS GALLERY, it closes AUGUST 9. Have you seen it yet? I'm pretty proud of the show and the lovely space it's in right now.
Please go see it before it's gone! 
The next show to close will be ORGANUM at Baylor Health Sciences Library, it closes August 30. You have plenty of time to go check it out :)
There are still lots of pieces for sale from both exhibits

Looks like I have more freelance work coming my way (which I sorely need) and am spending the next few days creating another painting for a special private party I've been invited to be the feature artist at. Latino Leaders Magazine asked me to show a few pieces this week at a nice little spot in the Design District. They came out and did a photo shoot last week while I worked on the Mary Kay project- the worlds largest art work made solely of makeup! The Guinness Book of World Records people come out on Tuesday to officiate and that will be the final party for it. It's been such a great and positive project and I got to work with the most amazing people and made new friends! : ) Big thanks to Latino Leaders and Sara Pintilie for the beautiful photos!
We've all been on the news and had our pictures taken by the paper, hundreds of women (and fellas too) praised us and cheered us daily. Could there be a more fun project? NOPE!
My newest interview was published in Mercado Bilingue, in this issue I interviewed graffiti artist SONER. And go see our collaboration at WAAS Gallery before it comes down! Check out the article here!
"Intuition and Radar" collaborative piece with SONER and Patricia Rodriguez, a sweet fan shows you how LARGE this piece is 

I've been a busy, busy bee and don't see me stopping any time soon. Todays looking like a beautiful Sunday and theres a canvas waiting for me in the studio. Enjoy the day!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
