i love the fresh slate of a new year; the excitement of all that is to come and the reflection on the past year. i'm looking forward to spending more time working on my art... and i'm lucky to finally have some of that time.
i spent 4 hours yesterday on exhibit, as part of a family scavenger hunt at the Cincinnati Art Museum, opposite a vanGogh. it was pretty intimidating at first, but soon, i had a crowd around me, of mostly children and their grown-ups, asking what i do and how i do it, and what other kinds of art i enjoy. it's hard to come up with an answer that children will understand. "big art" was a good answer, as was "surprising art". i saw some friends from the manatee, and some from my former teaching days. and, while i was at trader joe's today, a woman saw me and told her kid, "there's the fiber artist." i'm starting to like being recognized. it's kind of fun.
back to the whole new year thing... my plans/resolutions for the new year are...
-be a more productive artist
-write more about stuff on my blog (since i did switch my domain name here, i might as well...)
-post more of my artwork
-get more of my work "out there
i'll keep you posted on how that's working out for me.
