Sometimes life has it's own plans. This last month was one of those times. It's the end of the year, and life has gotten rather busy. No matter though - I'e continued with my artwork when I can, and been a mom the rest of the time. Currently I'm exploring cartooning, the human body, structure, and detail to increase my skill. My desire is to ( Read more... )

I bought a 100 page notebook in 9X11 sheets, and my goal is to fill it. No rules, no expectations - just show up to the page at the times I've set aside and draw whatever strikes my fancy. I'm on my third picture so far, and it's going very well. I've finished two pieces of artwork in the last month - and hope to add a third in the next couple ( Read more... )

It is going to be a busy day today. I have several things planned for the web page, pictures to add, galleries to reconstruct and reconfigure. I've got my HTML hat on!! I have posted my newest picture, and hope to post some of the 3d artwork I've made over the years - I'll be adding a 3d gallery with my clay creations, weaving, and of course the ( Read more... )

It's been a busy few months. Being an artist and a mom doesn't always go hand in hand - and as a result it's easy to get lost in life and loving my children. I have, however, begun learning how to balance the things I want as an artist and my life as a mother and wife. It's taken withdrawing from what my life was and begin restructuring it so ( Read more... )

I apologize that it has been so long. The holidays had me busier than I ever expected. I have been creating heavily, but not for the website or my shows. I was making lots and lots and lots of Christmas Presents for friends and family. Just about everyone is wearing fleece now in some form or another - great stuff!!

Have you ever lost your way, and fumbled around for what seems like ages to try to find it again? Or spend all your time sulking, depressed that life isn't always sunshine and play time? Me too. Lately I've fumbled around in the dark trying to find my purpose, my meaning - only to be reminded that I make my purpose, and create meaning for myself ( Read more... )

Had a crazy summer! Lots of family, lots of visits. Finished a couple of pieces, and am ready to get back into the saddle. I have an art festival coming in about two weeks, and want to create a totally new piece and have it finished in time to scan, print, and frame. My goal is to get as many pieces finished this winter as possible for the ( Read more... )

I've been changing alot about my art career of late. I'm turning it into a business. It's not viable via sales yet - but I hope to change that. I've redone my web page, and hope to make some more changes as I create more. There are ideas and makings for a celtic page in the galleries - I'm having alot of fun exploring celtic knotwork, and ( Read more... )

I made a goal of 10 bookmarks for Acousticadia - the art festival I'm in - so far I've completed 5 celtic knotwork, and am half finished with three drawn pictures. I may create 2 more - but with all the real life chaotic stuff that's about to happen I don't want to over tax myself and loose my gumption and drive. To self propell a career you have ( Read more... )
