I love our group...

Life has been pretty full on lately! Having Maddy start creche has been the biggest blessing as I have had 2 mornings a week to be me. Maddy loves creche she runs into the centre and doesn't want to leave when I pick her up.

Maddy ready for her first day at creche

Since January I have been hosting an artist salon through Skype. It started out as 6 artists from around the country and we have made it to the last session with 4 left standing. We have been working through 8 sessions based on the 'I'd Rather be in the Studio' by Alyson Stainfield. It is a pretty intense and a huge learning curve in many ways. Sometimes it has felt like information overload but we are coming out the other end with so much knowledge to get us to the next level in our careers. The best part for me is defiantly working together with with Deanna, Ronda and Diane! I would have been happy to read the book by myself but I wouldn't have got half as much out of it as I have with them by my side. We have one session left and have decided to keep meeting once a months to support each other with our goal setting. We also have a private facebook group set up where we can communicate with each other, share, and help out each other when we can.

Our first artist salon session on Skype.

For the past couple of weeks I have been cleaning up my website rewriting everything and all I need now is new photos of my artwork and I will be one happy girl!

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to.

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
