Today I was thinking that I should make if very easy for you to find me.  This means if you want to send an email or check out my YouTube videos or Take a class or Buy some art you should be able to do it with very few clicks of the mouse.  So I am going to look over my sites and accounts and see where I can improve.  Enjoy!

Do you ever check out a blog and then check out another that was l listed on the first blog and then on  and on for an hour or so?  I will share my blogging journey – to inspire you.

http://mycuriousteaparty.blogspot.com/ by Julie Howe of the UK with inspiring pins and lots of links to more inspiring artists…….somehow I got to

http://paperponderings.blogspot.com/ by Fiona Dempster  Her paper and images just make me want to work with paper and experiment. then I went to 

http://missouribendstudio.blogspot.com/  and I was inspired by Patti Roberts-Pizzuto mixed media work and  her etsy shop and to 


http://wabisabiart.blogspot.com/ and wanting to start the double alphabet project. and then to 


Rebecca Crowell’s abstract landscapes http://rebeccacrowellart.blogspot.com/.  


The more I wander the web the more I start to believe that the goal really is to be true to myself.


Enjoy the journey!

screen print on gelatin print
8′ x 10″

I was lucky to have a new buyer come to my studio today.  And it was a great opportunity to talk about and present my gelatin prints.  I learned:

  1. clean the studio and
  2. create a comfortable place to display the work
  3. ask questions to better understand what the buyer likes and where the art will be displayed
  4. Listen to the answers
  5. Offer matting and framing ideas
  6. yet let the buyer decide
  7. have fun with the conversation
  8. allow the buyer to prepay
  9. give myself a delivery deadline
Happy Printing!
