This summer has been so busy! I managed to squeeze in two art shows/fairs in my local area. The Art in the Pearl district show in Portland and the Salem Art Fair both shows were a lot of fun...huge learning curve.
I am planning an upcoming teaching schedule in 2014 so please keep checking back for dates/times
I will post more information here on the blog as dates are finalized.

This is a mixed media art cloth piece that I did for an art show in the fall of 2007. It was juried show and the theme revolved around the 'Mountain'.

This piece took home the top prize of Best in Show.

I was pleased with the outcome of the show and flattered that I won Best in Show....the weird thing is.............. I was totally unsure of this piece before I put it in the show????

I had to ask my good friend Tina's opinion about the quality of this piece........... that is so not like me. I go by my instinct and I know when I think a piece is right but something about this one stumped me.........I learned that sometimes it is okay to question a piece and be unsure as.....it is part of the process.
