Thank you so much so much to everyone who came out to the Recent Works show! It was a wonderful wknd and we are so thankful for all the visitors we had and new friends made. Already planning next year fingers crossed!
With the shows over I’m finally in the “Ok, now we’re talking!” stage of setting up my studio. I had so.much.stuff to go thru and there’s way more but it’s finally feeling organized enough to where I can go in and just work as opposed to having to dig for things. It’ll always be a work in progress as work shifts and changes but nice to feel that, “Click”. I’ve got a few exciting things going on this month. First is “Small Business Saturday” at the Workhouse on Saturday November 30th from 11am to 6pm. While I will NOT be there that Saturday I will have a lot of work available for sale in my studio 606A in Building 6! Much like ARTOMATIC I will have lots of things on display with prices marked so you can just take items to the front desk of Building 6 and purchase them there! So for anyone in the market for creative gifts that are locally made this year that’s a great day to check out the studios. More to come on my Instagram stories as I finalize my set up!
I also just found out I had my piece, “Meditation I” accepted into the Mixed Media Show at ArtWorks Art Center in Richmond, Virginia. The show opens Friday November 22nd and run thru January 2025. I’ll also be posting more details on my Instagram. Very exciting!
To close, I need to share where I am right now about the election because it effects all of us. Anyone who knows me knows I am comfortable being clear about my stance on politics. So it should be no surprise I am very upset at the election results. I will not engage in conversations online because after going thru this before (unbelievably!) I don’t want to expend my precious energy on the futile. I am choosing, as I slowly re-set my nervous system to focus on what I can do and can change. I can keep my community close and continue to build a network that is like-minded, humanity-centered and supportive. I can take care of my body, mind & spirit so I am able to withstand the inevitable blows we are going to be facing as citizens. And I can make art. That I can do. And that’s what I will continue to do everyday for the foreseeable future. I hope what I create continues to be of value to people because I know it’s invaluable to me. I am more grateful than ever for your continued support. Thank you.
