Here’s To Another Stunning Year of Growth & Opportunity

The last couple of years have been amazing for me as an artist. As I’ve moved away from representational art into abstract forms, I’ve discovered a level of creative joy I’d not known. I was generally satisfied, even pleased, with my work, but nothing prepared me for the exhilaration I experience when painting freely, without expectations of a result.

As I’ve lived with many of the pieces, I’ve reflected on my own growth as an artist and as an individual. I’ve applied for multiple grants and exhibits. Some have come through. Others have been rejected. These days, a rejection is not a statement on my work, but is an opportunity to look deeper for more, maybe better, places to present the work I do.

During an author event, I met a young woman who is on the staff of the Blue Earth Review, Minnesota State University, Mankato’s literary magazine. Somehow our conversation turned to art. Since this was an author event, I didn’t have any artwork with me, so I showed her my website. She loved what she saw and encouraged me to apply to be the featured artist in their upcoming issue. And so I am!
