My Little Travel Palette
1 On my first trip with other artists, I learned the habit of buying a sketchbook from every place I go. I never use those sketchbooks while I’m in said place. It’s just nice having a little reminder when I use it later. It’s a nice way to interweave memories. Sketchbooks […]
The Best Kind of Souvenirs
I know, it’s not art related, but it kind of is. As a creative person, it’s easy to get bogged down and forget to take a minute to make sure I’m doing ok. This topic has been on my mind for quite a while and it has definitely picked up […]
Self-Care Saturday
TRACE. Allow me to explain, please. Every time I go on a social media platform and look at the art pages/subs/groups, inevitably someone asks about projectors and people lose their freaking minds. It’s absurd. They never answer the question. All they do is gang up on the poor soul who […]
To Trace Or Not To Trace?
I finally decided to commit to this book several months ago. I started by just doing the morning pages (3 pages hand-written every morning, conscious thought) for a month or two, then I decided to dive in to the rest. Tomorrow is the start of week 12 and it is […]
The Artist’s Way
It seems every artist has read this book. It’s been on my shelf since college. 9-11 years. I haven’t read it. Well, I’m trying to get into the habit of the Miracle Morning routine. I love it. But I also love laying in bed and looking at Facebook until Gunnar […]
The Art Spirit
If you google how to have a successful blog or online presence, the one piece of advice you will find more than others, at least in my experience, is “be an expert.” You can find “how to be an expert fast” help if you’re not sure how. There are experts […]
Getting Ahead Online
Yesterday, Every Breath You Take by the Police, came on the radio. It reminded me of a comment section I had just read online about that very song. How people used it for wedding songs even though it is clearly a song about a stalker. Someone mentioned an anecdote about […]
In This Corner, We Have The Artist…
So I’m only two months into my bullet journal obsession so I’m not an expert by any means. However, I have found some things I love. And I did tell you Sunday, I’d share my favorite things, so let me show you. My favorite type of page is any which […]
Bullet Journal Craziness Ahead
I’m very happy to announce a new partnership with Reckless Abandon Online Gallery. It happened rather quickly and I’m very excited about growing my relationship with them. It’s a lovely site and the other artists are wonderful. If you have a moment, check it out. When I have a page […]
2nd Gallery Representation
2 I went to West Palm Springs earlier this month for the art fair, Artnado. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been to that part of Florida and it was only my 3rd art fair as a vendor. I met so many wonderful artists and made a […]
Artnado 2016
“A very small sampling of the female artists now in their 70s, 80s and 90s we should have known about decades ago.” Awhile back some guy online tried to insult me by telling me only little old women must like my work. He thought he thoroughly succeeded because I […]
Look At These Magnificent Women!
Embed from Getty Images We all have our things. That thing we are touchy about when someone says something other than, “You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever seen doing that thing.” Just me? Actually, I know it isn’t just me and this article trying to spell out things not to […]
Are Artists Too Senstive?
I think we are all ready for this year to be over. Aren’t we always though? I want to take the last day of the year to reflect on everything I accomplished in 2016. A lot of people do these types of posts and I don’t know about anyone else, […]
What A Year!
Because it sounded like you said I’m exhausted. Oh wait, that was me. I had the best time this past weekend meeting new friends and talking art. I’m already looking for another fair to try, but I can’t wait to go back next year. What a blast. If you are […]
Did you say art fair?
Before I was in high school I didn’t even realize art was a career. I don’t even know if I knew anything about the masters. I’m sure I heard of them, I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, after all, but I don’t know if I realized that was their actual […]
How I Ended Up At Art School
Everyone likes to think of art classes as easy As and art degrees as just coloring all day. Let me tell you, the arts are consistently listed as one of the hardest degrees. Look here, here, and here for proof. Why is it so hard? I can only answer from […]
