Whole Earth Festival 2010

On my way to the Whole Earth Festival, got some new prints all made up... and hopefully I sell some! That would be awesome because I haven't been making very much money since October!! The WEF is in Davis, California at the University, and is a sustainable hand crafters fair! It is really cool, and the weather is usually beautiful!

My new Print !!!!!!!

This is a silk-screen with some hand painting. It is apart of a series I am working on and plan to finish this summer, in order to line up a show... oh and apply to grad school!

Beltaine Birthday

So here it is the first day of being 31! It is cloudy, with little birsts of sun. I jumped the hurdles and crossed bridges that needed to be crossed this year. More so than any other year of my life. I have almost accomplished everything on my list of stuff to do in my twenties. I am getting my BA this summer finally, and then getting my MFA will finally be the end of my educational goals. I have seen this country all over, and am content with the amount of traveling I have done. I just need to see Europe. I am slowly building up my small business, and will have a clothing line together in a few weeks. I also have my artwork together for prints, and have been silk-screening some new designs on paper. What can I say? I am happy with the direction my life has taken, the darkest days of this past year are over. I am looking ahead, never behind.

Matters of the heart take their course, and it takes courage to follow your heart. Sometimes we listen to it, other times we try to quiet it. But no matter the situation of my heart, I always look forward to things working out for the best, and never give up that the future will bring amazing things. Sometimes hardships happen, and what we do in those moments will test our character and happiness. You can choose to let these moments be poetry in your mind and heart, everything is a choice.
I always try to turn sadness into inspiration, and seeds of happiness. I hope you can too.

My new Web Site

Hooray! I finally got my website up and running. I haven't finished my gallery section yet, I will be uploading a lot more to it. But hey, at least it works!!

Art Opening

I'm going to an art opening on Saturday, I'm excited because it is someone I knew from high school back in the Midwest, and he coincidentally lives in Portland now just like me.
Here's the venue: Disjecta
and here's his art: David Stein

Life

Sometimes when life throws you curve balls, rather than thinking life is crumbling, think of it as inspiration. Sometimes having a broken heart just means its time to grow and change... and its not that bad. I'm learning to control my thoughts, take the negative thinking patterns and think instead of the exact moment of NOW!! Hope you can do it too friend!

This is some recent work!
