I have been sick for a couple of days. It has thrown my creativity off… I only did a bit of editing on photos and then slept all day. I can’t seem to get organzied at the moment, so when something else exciting happens I’ll let you know. :)

Kids with sharpies – Collaboration Day!

So, the kids are home from school today. What am I to do so I can clean the house and keep them busy? Why I gave them two of my pieces of art and let them draw all over them… Two pieces of art that I had in shows in previous years. One was priced at $800… But it was of the old city cemetary. Not a big draw for art collectors to hang in there house. Or maybe just not the art collectors here in Sacramento. Anyhow, pricing is just for Galleries… My art has no real value when it is sitting in my home taking up space. Unless of course it is sentimental. So anyhow, back to the collaborations being created as we speak. The kids are loving it. They are thrilled. They have both grown up around the gallery scene and quite aware of what collaborations are and sculpture and what good art is to them. They have been at it for over an hour and half so far. It is so much fun to hear them discuss what they are doing and the imagination taking over… To only have the freedom of thought of a 7 year old and a 5 year old… It is never ending fantasy time, new worlds and situations to explore. All being put to use on my old boring paintings… Here are some photos so far.

hello world!(default 1st post title) and here I go)

Well I’ve done it… added one more thing for myself to do during the day. I figure this is important for me as well as maybe interesting for you… I need a journal of sorts to keep track of what I am doing and what I am working on and where I am heading. I get so many things going at one time that I can barely function. I am home by myself for the first time in 7 YEARS! (yes really) and am finding myself all of a sudden lacking direction and scared. Well until my friend Gale hart called and invited us to take part in a year long project of hers “A Bitchin’ Space”. It is a collaboration project – movement (according to the paper), that has all the “cool” artists taking part. I gladly accepted the challenge as well as my husband. But then here it was. My first piece to start. What do I do? A Uterus. Yep, that’s right, a uterus with screaming faces inside and an abstract pattern up along the top. Needless to say No One wanted to work with my uterus. I guess a uterus isn’t a big inspiration for many artists to work off of. So she found someone willing to give it a try and he turned it into a cool piece. I got a bunch of grief from it though. There went my newly found creative self esteem down the drain. I am a bit touchy after 13 of years of gallery showings and then kids, and then no time, and then now feeling like I am starting over. So I picked up a second piece. My husband an inspiration when I need help brought out a piece I had started a while back. he had been thinking about it for over a year… He said “look at how wonderful this is, how cool!” and I looked and saw it. My inspiration for this new collaboration. So I did and it turned out fantastic and got a “wow” from the group… I picked up a third piece to finish with my husband. Our first collaboration together. It was finished today, and I must say I am impressed. So I am BACK… my creativity is coming back. It got another wow… The show opens this weekend. Come on by and see. I will be there trying to feel like a confident artist again…
