Welcome Summer and my new art show!!!!

I am officially on summer break... this has been a long time coming. My art show is up and on exhibit until June 15 at the Capitol Arts Center in BG. It is in the Mezzanine gallery so it is upstairs. I have to say that I am very proud of my new work; I think it is a strong show. The majority of the works are black and white but I have several mixed media pieces. These works are very personal in nature. They are very self exploratory and intense. They definitely make a statement. Some people look at my work and see many different things. I try to show my personal interpretation of the images in my mind but they are my visions... they are my interpretations. My titles describe the artworks in detail. I use my titles as the words to my thoughts; they define my visions. I used to be a realist but I found that I could not visually express all that I needed to say in a realistic manner. Therefore my images are more abstract in nature. I see things so differently than other people; my visions can not be expressed in any other way. I know that I have been blessed with a great gift and it is my hope that this gift will be enjoyed by all of those who view my visions.

WOW What a beginning to the year

Here we are in the 5th month of 2009 and so much has happened. I have reconnected with friends from high school and have spent time with them. I have an art show coming up in 16 days (May 29). I am proud of the art work and it is going to be displayed beautifully. Most of the works are black and white so they have very distinct black frames.
I saw Blue October back in April in St.Louis. The show was phenomenal. I was so excited...they played the entire new album along with older favorites. I didn't get to stand in front of the stage this time so I wasn't able to get the fantastic pictures that I was able to get when I saw them last time. I honestly think I would be a roadie if I could afford to do it.
How do you get over an addiction to music???? Seriously... I am addicted. Its crazy... and it isn't new. It has been like this for 3 years... I listen to them EVERYDAY. He says in song what I wish I could say. So when I listen to the music it is like I am showing myself to the open part of my soul.

Now on Facebook

Well I have officially entered the 21st century... I can now relate to old friends and somewhat reconnect to those special people of my past. The year is off to a great start... my line of knitted/crocheted scarves are doing well and I am finishing up some art work which will be in a solo exhibition beginning May 29. I have the work done... now I have to get it all framed. The works are smaller than my previous show so I have more of them to frame. WHEW... and that is where the money comes in. Perhaps I will sell many at this show.
I will keep you all posted.

Oh yeh, and the best news, I HAVE BLUE OCTOBER CONCERT TICKETS FOR THE CONCERT IN ST.LOUIS IN APRIL. I am so stoked. I swear I would be a roadie and follow them if I could... needless to say I am excited. This will be my second concert and since this is the launching of a new album and new tour I am hoping to see them many more times. I am hoping they come back to Louisville. At that concert I was front row... I looked a little obsessed as I took an amazing amount of photos. I think after the final count it was 238... I know, a little crazy but I tell you, it is weird, Justin writes and sings about what I think and paint about. we have similar demons and I think that is why I am so insanely obsessed with the music.

I will keep you posted on all of the good stuff!
