Big thanks yous to the fabulous people at Arts On Douglas Gallery in New Smyrna Beach; Ed, Jeanie, Meghan, Kate and the entire cast! The space looks amazing and the Past Perfect show is a great idea. Thank you to those of you who bought work and those of you who continue to support the arts and artists in Florida. We need to teach the world the importance of surrounding our lives with handmade items that make us happy and this is an awesome place to continue that education!
"I begin to understand how nothing to do is its own state of grace, difficult to find deliberately, nearly impossible to recognize. Nothing to do means I can sit and look and let my mind wander, then empty, then fill again, with wonder or with grief, with anything or with nothing at all. 'Nothing to do' is not the same as 'Nothing can be done.' One is hopeless; the other, the place from which hope becomes possible."
--Dominique Browning
Just finished reading this fabulous book by Dominique Browning. I highly recommend this one!! Here's another great quote:
"What's the point, he wants to know of working so hard and for so long only to see your career smashed? I try to phrase my answer in a way that makes sense to him: the pleasure is in the doing--- and suddenly I realize, amazingly, that finally I believe that too. So what if it ends? The adventure was WONDERFUL."
Love Tricia Guild's style.
Keep Calm and Do Nothing. Its ok.

Learn the joys of mixed media collage! The workshop will address working with papers, fabrics, found objects, and past art work. The materials used will be the choice of each student, but students are encouraged to incorporate some of their own prior art work into new pieces. The objective of the work shop is to explore new mixed media techniques and excavate each student’s authentic voice in their art.

Spring has sprung in Florida, even though its been the coldest spring break that I can remember! But I have planted my next garden, the birds are eating from our feeders and the flowers are in bloom. What better inspiration to play with small new paintings!
I'm proud to announce that my painting Forgiveness is being used in conjunction with a film called Temperance by Maria Sanders. More to come. Can't wait to see the film Maria!
Painting eyes for my class at the Pottery Studio in Orlando today....
