Art Life 2018

Art Life 2018:

• Painted over 60 paintings.   
• Had art in 10 group shows, in the Portland area and out of state. 
• Solo show at RiverSea Gallery. 
• Taught 4 Paint With Me workshops.
• Taught a private workshop with a person who came  from Beirut, Lebanon to paint with me.
• Volunteered as a Portland Open Studios board member.
• Participating artist with Portland Open Studios.
• Sold 46 original paintings.
• Got a new dog. (#dashtheadorabledog)
• Got a mini-house at the beach.

I look at all this and think "Wow! That's a lot of good stuff.  Did I really work that hard?" 

One of the things that really came together in my art life this year is understanding how 
doing and not-doing work together, and how to trust that whatever my art and I need will come to us (or we will come to what we need).

The six paintings above are a few of my favorites from the year.  These are still available, either in my studio or at RiverSea Gallery.  Contact me or the gallery if you'd like a closer look or to purchase.  

I'm looking forward to the next year of art-making and all the things that come along with that.  We'll see what happens... 
​What are you looking for to happen next year?
