In the Mix

A couple of years ago I was in a show at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, MO.  The Foundry is  a really cool spot for all kinds of art, not just visual. Their gallery is beautiful beyond words, soaring ceilings and wide open space, the kind of place where you have a little 'pinch me' moment when you see your work hanging on the wall.
So anyway, I was juried into a show call 'In the Mix'. If you want a flashback to that show, you can read about it HERE.
And I won a prize (woo hoo) which granted me a 4 person show.
So the time has come and I am having my award show. 
I attended the opening two weeks ago. 

Such a thrill to see my name on the wall. I don't know what there is about that, the name thing, but it never gets old. Uh, yeah, I apparently am that vain.
I love how my show was presented, just stunning to see.
A friend showed me how to use the Panorama function on my phone which allowed this uber-cool photo.
If you are in the St. Louis area, this show will be up till March 22nd. There is another show there (all Paper!!!) that is really worth the trip as well.

Yee Ha for Nashville

It is an honor to be involved in a new event like this year's Nashville Art is You!! To attend an event the first time is kinda extra special, ya know? It's like you are somebody 'in the know'. And after years have passed and the event has broken all sorts of popularity records, you can say, "I remember that very first year......"
So, psssst, I am giving you the hint, sign up already, wink, wink. It is really going to be that good.
As a teacher, I am especially jazzed about teaching a two day class. So much time to fully immerse ourselves in the process and create art that moves up a notch.

Plus, I am going to actually take a class, which is such a treat for me. This time with the delightful Leighanna Light.
And finally,  the Art is You peeps are quite a special family. I am grateful to be part of this family and would love for you to be a part also. Won't you join us? Yee ha for art families!!
Nashville Art is You -  April 4-7, 2013
