I just got back from an appearance/demonstration at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, MN where my work is on display until the end of January. I was pleasantly surprised by the good turnout! There were several people there who were really interested in my art and the process in which I use to create it, I had several great questions during the demonstration & got a lot of encouraging feedback form the people who attended! It was also great to have Debbie & Vivi there to support me, (although Vivi upstaged me a bit)!
I really have to thank Mary McReynolds-Pellinen for spearheading the event, I think I should make her my PR person! In addition to all the local press on my appearance, I was interviewed by Travis Ryder of KAXE 91.7, public radio from Grand Rapids after the event and will be doing a television interview with a Duluth station on Monday.
All of this recent attention has lit a fire under me to make more of an effort to start working on some new pieces that I have been wanting to do for some time, but have been putting off. I just have to suck it up and MAKE time to do what I love!!
Thanks for reading, hope to post some new work in progress next time!
Yippee! I need something or someone to jump start me. Keep on stipplin'!
