Past Pictures

Some pictures of my family were recently discovered (others knew about them, I did not) and sent to me. They’re from the mid- 80s. We go back that far. Enjoy!

Oh yes, I had a sandbox.

If you look closely, you can see my dad (with camera, of course) behind me.

Be on the look out…

Two of William Denton Ray’s paintings were stolen from outside of his studio at the Harrison Center for the Arts last week. Help spread the word and maybe we can find them.

Valentine’s Day Early

I’m really bad about getting Christmas cards out on time, if at all. I would like to be someone who is organized enough to have the handmade cards in my head at the ready. Alas, this is not me. I will admit to a bit of guilt when I receive a card from a friend and have nothing for them in return.

I’m working to make up for this failing this year by producing Valentine’s postcards! I don’t exactly know what I will do with them – hand them out, attempt to sell them, or something else. But, they are on their way to becoming reality. I spent a good bit of today working on a couple of paintings that will be featured on what I will call ‘limited edition’ cards.

More to come, of course.

Teeny, Tiny Art

I played today with making some very small art. The plan? Top secret…but you can enjoy the samples.

First Sketch of the Year

Welcome to 2012 and my first art of the new year…it’s another page from my sketchbook (one started just a few days ago).

I’ve decided that instead of making resolutions for the coming year, I’m going to count my blessings from the previous year. 2011 was both one of the best and worst years for me in a long time. The downside of 2011 was a job loss, which involved losing a bit of my identity. The upside? I learned about real friendships and found new friends and new communities of which to be a part. I was able to let go of old places and the feelings I carried and move forward. A big thank you to my friends at Silver in the City and the Center for the Performing Arts – who got me through a tough time.

This year brought my second ever solo show – Neighborhoods at the City Gallery, part of the Harrison Center for the Arts – in October. It reminded me that making art and sharing it is what I truly love to do. I have plans for more.

In just a few days I’ll be starting a new job with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It’s a new step and I’m so excited to get started.

So, all the best to you in the new year! Count your blessings.
