Put your foot on that GAS PEDAL

Mice are nice!

Getting into the middle of May and hoping time starts going slow from here on out. I have a mountain of work to do and the show just keeps inching closer.

I took a break of sorts over the weekend. I just finished two big paintings back to back and needed some brain space before I leapt on another 4ft x 5 ft collaboration piece with SONER.

So far I've got 3 new personal works done and 1 colab. Time is ticking but I'm liking the way the show is looking so far. Fantastical!

Just wrapped up the Tunnelvisions event and auction, my giant Panda went for....

....$160!

Someone got an amazing deal, I hope they realize that.

And with that Im formally ending all other events for the summer and focusing solely on this show for Kirk Hopper Gallery and nothing else so thanks but no thanks to any other showing, event, charity donation thingamajig, etc etc.

If you don't focus you get nowhere.

Today I tackle another collaboration piece, it's interesting having to work against a dark background and bounce my color palette against neon green. Definitely shaking up the color palette here, which is good.

OK, full day in the Studio and doing some mileage. I'm happy to report my health is in the feeling great zone again. I've ben seeing the pounds drop, the biceps get firmer and some ab muscles forming! I even fit back into one of my favorite summer dresses

Vintage Hawaiian dress with sailor bow collar, Tiki Tiki time!

Exercising every day has kept me on my game and in good spirits. I remember bad health last year, I am not going back there! My time to shine!

I am patiently awaiting the next issue of Studio Visit Magazine to come out and check out my upcoming feature. Exciting!

And last but not least, here's a reminder of where you can see my work around Dallas right now

Tunnelvisions exhibit, Kettle Gallery thru May 25

ELLA exhibit at the Latino Cultural Center, thru June 23

So even if you won't be able to see this little hermit you'll still be able to see my work

Have fun out there!

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 ...
