Illustration Friday ~ PERENNIAL


The purple coneflower, my favorite PERENNIAL.

This artwork was created for a collaborative project with many of my art sisters. The sentiment represents the relationships built with wonderful women whose friendships I hope are also PERENNIAL...perpetual; everlasting; continuing; enduring.

I encourage you to visit the Illustration Friday website, follow the links and find all of the wonderful artwork and blogs.

Re-Vamped Website


I have followed the sage advice of art licensing gurus, Tara Reed and Maria Brophy, and organized the artwork on my website into "collections."

Something had been awry over at my website and I really hadn't noticed WHAT until Tara and Maria spoke of "collections" during last night's Art Licensing call. As soon as they mentioned this topic, I thought, "YES! that's what needs to be done with my website."

I hope that this re-vamped model makes my website more viewer-friendly, and you'll take this opportunity to explore it a bit.

As always, thanks for your interest in my creative journey!

NEEDLEPOINT: KATHY'S SPAREROOM

It Won't Be Long Now


I'm looking forward to a great time at Art Is...You: The East Coast Art Retreat!

For so long it seemed so far off...and now...WHOOOOSH, summer is here and I know that before long I'll be shipping my college boy back to school and shopping for school supplies for the two boys still in the nest. WHOOOSH....that's what summer does, even though I'd love for it to last and linger.

But the end of summer 2011 will also be greeted with anticipation for Art Is...You! Believe me, the attendees are already so stoked and ready for magical, artful goodness!

Join me for "Mixed Media Farmer's Market,"where we'll create textures and designs and glorious flowers, fruits and veggies in all their mixed media glory!

Hope to see you there!

Workshops!


Sharing art journaling with friends is such fun....and so I am thrilled to once again be offering two classes at the Sharon Arts Center in beautiful Sharon, NH just a stone's throw from my home in Peterborough.

A wonderful art center, Sharon Arts offers a wide variety of classes. If you live in Southern NH, Southwestern VT, or Northern MA, check out the class selections. You're sure to find something that suits your fancy.

Hope to see you there!
