relay for life

on May 1st at the Artisan Faire fellow artist Micky Piercy and I created a collaboration piece, which was donated to the Bakersfield Relay for Life at the end of the day with 10% of the days proceeds from Caffeine Supreme. The Bakersfield Relay for Life is the largest in the nation and as of today has raised $1,773,711.89!!!

BECA

i've decided to resign from the board of Bakersfield Emerging Contemporary Artists and refocus my efforts.

my plans include more time with my family and working on more art pieces.

i'm kicking around an exhibit idea called "se7en". this can go many ways but my plan for now is to create one piece a week for a period of time, without interruption.

another exhibit idea for some time next year will be a collaborative effort between a photographer and myself.

to bigger and better things! cheers!

shhhh... i'll uproot the ties that hold you down...

New Paintings.

I've created over 5 paintings in the last week and a half. I feel as though I'm on a roll and loving e very minute of it.

change

change seems to be a hot topic of mine. it seems to be ever revolving around me.

a new challenge will hopefully result in growth and happiness... what doesn't brake you makes you stronger right?

i'm opening my umbrella, we will see where the wind takes me, hoping to float into a new adventure and make the best of it.

Down the Rabbit Hole

The exhibit Friday was wonderful. There were a couple sales by the end of the night, one being that of a child, which made the excitement all the more sweet. I'm including a picture of myself and my piece in the show titled "Tangled Wonders." To say I love this piece would be an understatement. It was a packed house, the body heat was overwhelming at one point, so Ty and I snuck out the back door for a breather.

Alice in Wonderland is my favorite childhood story. I grew up on the Disney version and spent many hours as a kid drawing the characters. The story is full of wonders, excitement and true feelings. The way Alice reacts to each peculiar event and character is raw and real.

I received many compliments on the style, as it's not my usual look, of the painting and my head dress. Thank you to all who came to enjoy the night.
