West Elm offers Artists/Creatives opportunities to show their works in what is known as a POP-UP Store. I will be at the downtown by the Truckee River Reno, NV store Saturday, July 28 from 12noon - 4pm. Please stop by and see my new 2019 Calendars and Nevada landscape Magnets made for the show. Thank you to the wonderful City of Reno's ARTOWN, for the entire month of July ART is the thing!

It's great to have the City of Reno supporting my ART and a great joy to be recognized in the community in which you live, work and thrive! https://www.reno.gov/…/city-…/mckinley-gallery-east-and-west  TMCC Pyramid Lake Experience! 20% Off the price of this 1 day class, I will be sharing the Lake I so Love and is an inspiration for my works in Oil Pastel Smudge! Friday, May 18. 10am-3pm. Sign up early, please! To register. https://bit.ly/2IErqtE  Last month I attended the yearly conference of AFCI Assoc. For Creative Industries in Phoenix, AZ. I was one of 12 business' competing to win $10,000 for the "Ultimate Pitch". I was given a free table to exhibit in the INNOVATION CENTER of the show.  I didn't get into the Finalists but I did make some great contacts to further the Oil Pastel Smudge technique. YEAH...moving forward!
 This is a piece created from an original metal work of art I created, several years ago. I photographed the work and did some manipulation on the computer, to create this wonderful mandala design in copper and steel.
AFCI Assoc. for Creative Industries (formally CHA Craft and Hobby Assoc) recently published an article "Keeping the Arts Alive" in their trade publication Gradient. Please check out the article and join AFCI if you feel it is the right fit for you and your art. Being involved for me has taken my art and business to levels I only dreamed of. I have grown as an artist and business woman in so many ways with the associations influence. BRAVO to AFCI. Many thanks!

My first introduction was in 2003. That year I was gifted the exquisite embossed stone of "the Man!"on the left. I attended the festival 11 years in a row. Now after 3 years in a row, not attending, I was gifted a FREE Ticket to attend with a friend for only 48 hours. The clay piece on the right is what I gifted a few of my favorite Burners & Friends. Attending Burning Man is inspiring, in so many ways! GO if you get the chance, you will not regret it!
