Stepping into the On-line Webinar World with Sketchbook Revival
Last month I overcame by techie fears and bravely went on-line for my first live webinar interview to share some of my sketch book journaling methods in a teaching session with fellow artist, Karen Abend in Germany, for the upcoming SKETCHBOOK REVIVAL EVENT. I'll admit, there were some last minute snafus, but I somehow pulled it off - that last photo was when it was done - I was relieved ;). I won't see it until everyone else does, the Workshops go live next week, all the details and FREE sign up below.
Sketchbook Revival is an amazing FREE online workshop featuring Sessions led by talented fine artists, illustrators, designers, art therapists, and journalers from around the world. I am honored and excited to be a featured presenter and to be able to partake in lessons in painting, drawing, inking and collaging from so many other talented artists in the Sketchbook Revival Online Workshop.

My Middle Age Freak Show
meand5
Hello Friends! I've recently completed some big new work now available for sale at the State Street Gallery in the loop in Chicago! Last spring I was invited by curator, Jason Messinger, to participate in a group show in the theme of 'Carnival'. Inspired by 'circus side show' banners, I merged my painting style with my sketchbook journal imagery and my own personal middle age 'freak show' story to produce a collection of 5 foot pieces! I'm excited for you to see them, and I would like to personally invite you to join us this Thursday, October 13th for theCrazy 8 Artists' CarnivalOpening Receptionfrom 5-7:30. (Additional details below).
My Statement reveals all, you may be amused!
You can preview my other pieces here.

"Optisism" Inspired sketching...
optisism
Good listen the other day: Krista Tippett's On Being Podcast with Tiffany Shlain. Very inspiring: 'optisism' = a mix of optimism and skepticism, the Positive Psychology movement - and so much more. I could have done a whole page on this one...but time eluded me! Check it out for yourself here.
BIG DOGS, and a few kitties on walls...

Last week we did the BIG ART install at Pets First Chicago...it turned out GREAT! After meeting with Dr. C (Chitra Natarajan), I designed a 3 piece triptych for behind the check in counter and then window decal art for the lobby and foyer areas. Many of the pets in the artwork belong to staff that work at the clinic, as well as Dr. C's pets - and, of course, we wanted to include the Chicago skyline and doggie beach. I look forward to doing more of these kinds of jobs, please share my info with any veterinarians or pet businesses that you think might benefit by adding some fun colorful artwork to their spaces. I can work with folks anywhere in the country.
