Early in the first week of June my exhibit Figures of Speech 2.0 was hung at Burnt Bridge Cellars. Fortunately I had help hanging everything! Thank goodness for Mark and Judy – I simply couldn’t have done it without them! Here’s how the exhibit looked just after it was hung… Then on Friday June 7…

The ABC’s and Holiday Book Flood month
I’ve been working towards “holidays” since about July, making my ABC’s: Artwork Books and Cards for holiday exhibits at the galleries. Such is the life of an artist. And it’s not just me it’s many artists who do this work-in-summer-for-the-holiday-season type of schedule. Creativity is very like running a marathon. So come December sometimes I…

Bugs books and Figures Of Speech
Art events are collaborative acts of community. I hold on to that thought whenever I’m tired as I am now prior to an art opening. I focus on the fact that while I might be a visible part of my upcoming art exhibit I am just one part: there’s the Burnt Bridge Cellars winery and…

Emotions, exhibits, drawings and books
My exhibit “For You By Sue the ABC’s: Art, Books, Cards” opened at the Aurora Gallery. It was my first art event since my adopted Mom passed so it was hard in many ways. But I spent time talking with my spouse and being in touch with family and friends so that helped. I didn’t attend…

Art supplies, art exhibits and self-care
In a prior post I wrote about sharing the correlation I see between art and mental health. Writing and drawing your thoughts and feelings can help you check in with yourself. It’s a way of caring about and listening to your innermost self. Beyond any therapeutic benefits a habit of writing and drawing is also…
