SUNDAY, November 13 - The Stable Gallery Opening Reception
Thanks to all my friends and family for your wonderful support and encouragement! I wish I had taken better pictures of the whole show, but here are a few of my pieces along with my good friend Carolyn and Evan. It was a ton of fun! I loved meeting new people, fellow artists, and talking about our art! I learned a lot for the next show and we all sold some pieces. Win-win-- Hallelujah!

TUESDAY, November 15 - Artist Reception at AtlantiCare Medical Arts Pavilion, Atlantic City, NJ
Fellow Springboarder Emily Gilman-Beezley and I headed to Atlantic City, NJ for an artists’ reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony of AtlantiCare's new Medical Arts Pavilion. Along with many other New Jersey artists, our work is featured on their office walls, corridors and spaces as part of AtlantiCare’s Healing Arts Program. What an honor! They treated us like royalty. It was great to meet the organizer, Cheryl Broschard, in person and get to know some of the other artists. I received incredible feedback on my work—totally worth the almost 6-hour round trip!

​JOIN US THIS SUNDAY!
If you're in the area, please join us for our reception on Sunday! Enjoy the lovely work of these very special women, nibble on delicious homemade treats, and perhaps do some holiday shopping. Bring the whole family!
I’m recently inspired by and adopted as a mentor Sister Corita Kent, a highly successful and innovative artist from the 1960s-70s who combined her passion for art and God with social justice issues of the day. She was also an educator at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, CA. I first heard of Sister Corita on "Antiques Roadshow" when one of her colorful serigraphs came up for evaluation. Greatly intrigued by Sister Corita's colorful style and design, I learned more about her and discovered she created a list of “10 Rules” (pictured here) for her students. Several especially touched me, especially #1, #6, and #7. Delicious water indeed to my parched, recovering perfectionist/procrastinator-self. I also love that Sister Corita used text - poetry, quotes, and scriptures as part of her designs. I found myself drawn to combining text with images years ago as a young artist and so now am playing around with this once again! I loved my days in college, learning and growing along with the other art students, and am very thankful to have found this new teacher. Thank you Sister Corita!

I hope you’re inspired by some of Sister Corita's 'rules'  in your creative endeavors!
Here are a few of the new pieces I completed in time for the show (many still in progress). My new process includes embellishing traditional and archival digital paintings with collaging of paper, beads, and quilling.
