Possibilities

I have been busy the past couple of weeks painting a lot of 20-somethings in order to fill my Etsy shop with lower priced paintings for the Christmas season.  $29 sounds about right to me for a casual Christmas gift. What do you think? My personal favorite from yesterday is called “Possibility Flowers”.  For once [...]

Two Week Artist-Alone 2011

artist-alone

Curious about an Artist-in-Residence Program?   Me too! For several months I have considered applying for artist-in-residence programs in various locations across the nation. I like the concept, living away from home for a few weeks – allowing yourself to focus solely on your artwork. Connecting with other artists and the community. Creating in a different environment with different [...]

DSCN0265_edited-1

  I have regrouped and restocked my Etsy Shop with 20Somethings again. I began selling these back in 2009 when the recession first hit.  They were quite popular. Since I am using Etsy again as my primary means of online sales, I thought I might as well add the 20Somethings Section again. I literally have [...]

The Truth about what is really going on with me

Art is messy and ugly sometimes. Real Art reflects Real Life. Maybe it is time to get out the black and blue paint and stay there.

My workspace. Where did it go?

I am standing in the middle of what feels like a very small room. This is my new work area. This is the space in which I am to run both my art business and my web design business. This is also my new studio. I have shuffled, boxed, re-boxed, and reshuffled my supplies and [...]

Guess it’s time to officially announce that our family is relocating this summer to Mt. Home, Arkansas.
