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!

There was a delicious sampling of various wines from the Boisset collection including a fabulous Rosé that was the talk of the evening.

The catering was a work of art in itself- so many little elegant bites! My favorite was a goat cheese rolled in a nut blend with a secret little grape hidden inside it. The flavors combined- perfection.

Art filled all the downstairs rooms and there was a constant stream of guests to and fro. I enjoyed chatting with all the friendly artists and guests and trading business cards.

Some of my friends and supporters showed up! Hi Billy Coleman!

"Kilauea" sold before the night was over. 
It was a great ending to a great month which saw me starting it by traveling to Idaho for a wonderful project, returning to projects in full swing and fitting in a little personal work and this showing -which made me feel like my artistic skills have been very valued this month. Am I getting spoiled? I don't want to work with people who don't appreciate me anymore. And I pretty much refuse to. 😂 This is the new way and dammit I LIKE IT.
Big shout out to Marisol Beltran of Asta La Luna for plugging some of the artists in for this showcase and showing the love. That's what makes great community! You can support her lovely business and beautifully made agate glassware/accessories here:

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
