In mid June, I did my last art residency of the school year with WyEast Middle Schoolers.
We made paper! So fun - and they made some really gorgeous designs!

In late June I led a fabulous group of women through a collage project at my first Art Night Out event.
We had a blast!! And they made some gorgeous art!

Ladies creating, enjoying some vino, listening to some tunes, and enjoying each other. So fun!

In early July I started digital assembly of all of the components that I made using traditional collage techniques (scissors, glue, paper) and then scanned into Photoshop. This is where I build all the final designs for my 2019 calendar using layers and layers of imagery.

And finally, if you're wondering about my big moves towards a giant leap I'm planning... After many many years of hard work building up to it, I am going to make the big leap to do my art full time!!! I will be starting this adventure in September after a much needed break in August. It feels GINORMOUS, exciting, scary, exhilarating, and incredibly right. More to come on this new chapter...
