Happy New Year!

New year's rolling in and its already been 5 days! So, there are tons of must-dos that I have thought about. How many actually get done is entirely dependent on the weather:)
Professionally, I would like to be a step above where I was in 2011. And learn! That seems to be the driving force behind all that I do. I want to learn more, I want to read more, I want to remember more...thats the key. I read a lot but the retention is questionable:)

So, what am I in 2012?
1. Artist Extraordinaire in my little studio,
2. Treasurer for Artists Alive & Well art group,
3. Student at Glassell,
4. Personal artist for all my patrons,
5. Good supporter of other artists and friends,
6. General go-getter of all things art!

Well, this is what I can confirm for now. Anything else that gets added, I will keep you posted!
In the meantime, my paints and I need to have a quick meeting..

Cheers!

My Solo at Method!

So, I finally get my Solo this year! And it is at this absolutely beautiful boutique called Method in the 'oh!so tempting' Rice Village:) I remember moving to Houston and sitting at Ruggles in the village and wondering what it would be like to be a part of the village community. I still wonder but I am glad they are accepting my work and appreciate it enough to give me this opportunity.

So please come and visit the opening reception at the boutique on December 9th and help me dream:)

My first! Being Co Chair :)

So besides the Open Studio at Hardy & Nance St, Artists Alive and Well gave me my first show in the City of Houston. I have been a part of them since Jan this year and you know what..no regrets. I think it is important as beginners to have a little faith. I chose to participate in most of AAW's shows and attend their meetings every month. And now I was asked to co chair a show for them! And what a beautiful place the venue is...Texas Tuscan Furniture on W Gray has some of the more intense pieces I have ever seen. Furniture made from reclaimed wood from all over the world, this place is a perfect match for art!

So I am busy attending to all matters that Co Chairs attend to and invite you to come join us for an evening of temptation:) (shopaholics know what I mean)
