It might be quiet here on the blog but…

It’s been very quiet here on my blog, but my life has been anything BUT quiet!

So much to tell you about but honestly, I can’t stop to write right now. Here’s just a few things that are happening in my world:

  1. I opened that art space I wrote about in an earlier blog post. OOAK Artisan Showcase had it’s first art exhibit, AWAKEN, in November 2018. In December we hosted our annual HOLIDAY GIFT GALLERY, showcasing artisan work from around the world! Our next group exhibit and solo art show will be in February March/April. Stay tuned for more information.
  2. In addition to my weekly and monthly offerings, I am continuing to add to my teaching schedule.
  3. Using my years experience in business and accounting, I have been working with a few local business owners to set up or expand their business. This includes marketing, bookkeeping, and general business-related tasks. Besides helping to cover my monthly expenses I am hoping it can help raise money so I am able to do more for the art community! My future plans for my own business are to develop and host an artist residency program, plus do more for the children
  4. Homeschooling! Yes, I am helping my daughter’s family as they homeschool their 13 year old son.

My life is always full. I wouldn’t have it any other way. But I have to admit, my own art is taking a backseat for now. HOWEVER, in June 2019 I will be attending my first-ever, artist residency. It’s a three-week visit to the Newnan Art Rez in Newnan, GA. (see previous post) As the time gets closer I will be sharing more about it. Of course when I am there I will definitely be blogging!

So that’s what is happening in my world, how are you doing?
