Whew.. what a week. I was planning to post all of this last week, but then last week exploded. So here we are. This project has been a mixture of joy and frustration and so much learning.

Come with me to update my little free art gallery! I love this thing & honestly don't update it enough. Today I took out some of my fall stuff and added Xmas items from the neighborhood and from the incredibly talented @cynthiahuffdesign

Tiny people sit on giant lily pads. They picnic, fish, and sunbathe while giant koi swim below them.
Got a great surprise yesterday when I got accepted to the Hopkin Juried Member Show!
This is different work from what up at the #edinaSeniorCenter, so make sure to check out both shows if you're local!

Just finished up installing my #artwork for my upcoming #artexhibition "Stillness in Place" opening this Friday at the Robbin Gallery. I'm really happy with how the show came together and am excited to share it with everyone 🎉

In another first for me… I’m in a gallery show!! I’m so ridiculously excited. I have a hard time seeing my work as ‘fine art’ vs ‘kids illustrations’ so it was great to be chosen for this. Come to the opening if you are around!
