New Artist at the Artful Gift Shop!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that there is a new artist at the Artful Gift Shop!  I am happy to announce that my meeting yesterday with owner Peggy James went very well and I am now an Artful Gift Shop Artist!  I have several pieces for sale in the shop ranging in size from 4"x4" to
12" x12."  If you are in Vienna, VA please stop by!  The shop is located on Church Street and carries all kinds of unique gifts from local artists--cards, jewelry, soaps, artwork, and more!

"Cloth Paper Scissors" arrived today with MY art!!!!!

Just got the mail and the day I have been waiting for has arrived!  My painting, "be a star" is published in my favorite magazine, "Cloth Paper Scissors!"  This is a dream come true!  I  made it as a finalist in their "make mine mini" challenge several months ago and have been waiting on pins and needles ever since to see if I made the final cut into the magazine! I am pleasantly surprised and overjoyed to report that I made the cut!  I am now published and it feels great!  My artwork is on page 83 of the May/June issue.  What a way to start the week!  I am SOOO happy, excited, and thankful!

I was just browsing online for info on the different mixed media art retreats I hope to attend this year.  When I got to the 2013 CREATE-NJ website, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that it featured a photo of me and my artwork from last year's retreat! Thanks CREATE!  Here is the link:
