Funny How Time Flies When You're Having Fun.

Catching up on my blog.  So what have I been up to since September?  I've been juggling client design work: taking on more web work, a web re-design so vital an event was planned around it, taking on social media job for a small manufacturing company (clean-up on isle 10!), my little boy graduating from Pre-K and now ready for Kindergarten, started back writing... short story long: LIFE.

So let me re-commit my intentions for this blog:

• Artists spotlights.  I'm currently interviewing a fellow local creative friends, and will be posting some of their works, links, and story.  
• Event info.  Its that time of the year again.  This will be my 6th annual art exhibit at the 1310 Gallery, also knows as Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts.  This year, I'm collaborating (again) with singer, song writer & activist Alana DaCosta.  Sneak peak here.
• Share more about my work.  Often times, people asks me about some of the concepts about my work.  If you want to see some of my work, click here.
• Occasional randomness. 
• Sharing some art & family life.  
• Share some of the projects and creative endeavors  

Things to come

Son Marley who sometimes has to paint while Mommy is painting

I have a focused commitment to this blog and really have a lot of great ideas to share with whom ever may read this and get a value, share an interest, or explore - to expand more here.  Develop more posts, explore, and share a little bit here.  Maybe put in a few loony stories of my life as a Mom, Artist, and freelance Designer working from home.  Or life as a part of an artists community.

Feedback is crucial and I love hearing from you.  So if you have any ideas, questions, feel free to shoot me a line.

Right now, I am doing a few things:

• Taking care of my terrible two's, extra talkative sweetheart of a son Marley
• Co-planner of our first resident artists group show in over two years (excited!) 
• Painting like a Mad Hatter small new works exclusively for new Etsy shop
• Framing my artwork for our group show "Love Thy Neighbor" opening this Saturday.
• Reading and learning how to set up my Etsy the right way
• A couple of design projects
• Slowly refocusing and optimizing some of my personal sites
• Planning and developing some ideas and direction for this blog
• Cooking a few times a week a nice meal for me and my family
• Figuring out how to fit in some met time

Its always seems to be not enough hours in the day.

Things to come:

• Features- by fellow local artists, people who's work I admire, interesting stories, entreprenuers, and work from home Moms.
• New artwork
• History - some stories or inspirations behind some of my work
• Past and current events
• Art
• Photography 
• Design
• Some note worthy client work and some horror stories (names omitted of course ;-)

In general just continuing to share.  This is a personal blog so keep that in mind if I tend to be a bit all over the place :-).  but I also want to hear from you.

So stay tuned and connect!
