From the artists studio

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my goals both long and short term. I think it is so important to step back every once in a while and see if you're making progress or just standing still. With a lot of thought I feel as though I need to make some changes. I’ve been on Etsy for over 2 years now and I feel like it’s very important for me to branch out into more online options as well as non-online options (galleries, festivals etc). I will continue to have a shop on Etsy which will have drawings, prints of paintings, note cards and some other fun stuff. In fact, I’m working on a project that has my artwork but is more on the crafty side (it’ll be up in the shop very soon!). As for my paintings, I’m thinking of selling them through my website and hopefully through galleries and more festivals. I am also thinking of changing parts of my website so this shift will happen when the website changes. I’ll keep you up to date as things progress.
Hope you are having a great week!

The Canvas Project

A little while ago I applied to be in The Canvas Project Vol. 2 - one of Art House Co-op's community based projects bringing artists together and helping make art more accessible to everyone. They sent me 5 3"x3" canvases and 5 words. I was asked to interpret a different word on each canvas. The words were submitted by viewers and were sent to me at random. After thinking about the words (one of which I had to look up) I came up with my paintings and sent them off yesterday. One of the paintings (I don't know which one) will be at the Atlanta Airport Atrium Gallery and in the book The Art House Encyclopedia Vol. 1. All 5 of the pieces will be for sale through the Co-op. After the project is done, the paintings will be for sale at my Etsy shop.

Back from vacation/holiday

We just got back yesterday from a nice long trip out east. We got to visit with friends in New Jersey, New York and Conneticut. We drove the whole way. A lot of people told us we were crazy to take a 5 month old on a road trip but we survived. Savannah was very good. She only had one moment where she got fussy in the car so we stopped and took a short break somewhere in Indiana (see above picture of James with Savannah). After that we learned our lesson and took her out of her car seat as much as possible on breaks.

It was great seeing everyone and we had a lot of time to reflect on our time living in the NYC area. Although I was not able to have my favorite tea and I didn't have any bagels, I did get to go to some favorite places (Central Park, NYU area, SoHo).
With all of the time we spent in the car I was able to take a lot of landscape photos for upcoming paintings. I was taking so many photos from the car that James joked about what the passengers in the other cars were thinking when they saw me and my camera. So if you happened to be anywhere between Chicago and the NYC area and you saw some lady snapping pictures of the landscape while in her car - that was probably me.
