My Daughter ROCKS!!!

Not only is Jade a fashionista, she is also a HUGE helper. I recently moved my studio out of the house and into a great space in Manchester. She helped me clean the space, lug boxes and furniture and even endured a very long trip to IKEA where I obsessed over what to buy. She is a trooper.

This weekend we spent Sunday at the studio and when I was done, she actually swept the place clean and then used the "swifter" on everything (including the pictures on the wall)!

Am I lucky or what??!!!

I'm moving on up and out of the house!

After years of dreaming, I finally got the courage up to find a studio space that is out of my house. I needed this because when I work out of my home, I'm still home and prone to interruptions, loads of laundry, paying bills and worrying about making dinner. And since I still have a full time "day job" time in the studio is precious to me and I don't want to waste a second!

So I made the leap and am in the process of signing a 2-year lease for space in Manchester Connecticut. I am very excited and it's my intention to work out of the space and really grow my art business to the point where I can decide if I want to keep the "day job" or not. I'm hoping for the "or not" scenario! Its all good.

Inspiration!

There's nothing like the beach to fire up some inspiration for me. I took this video this morning around 8:00 am, from Harvey Cedars New Jersey. Enjoy!!!

Illustration Friday "Kernel"

This weeks topic - "Kernel"

"Nature has neither kernel nor shell; she is everything at once" - Goethe

I thought it was fitting to draw a Kernel of corn as the "Birth of Venus" by Botticelli representing both earthly and spiritual love - everything at once!!

It's A Beautiful Day!

I was inspired this morning by the sun and a great conversation with my sister. Yahoo!

Illustration Friday - Cool Chick(en)

The theme for this week is "Chicken" - here's my Cool-Chick(en). As you can see, Chickens don't have access to the IPhone yet, they still have the brick (ha, ha, ha)
