Hey all! Here’s a quick update for March. I’m still working on the #34 Series, and I’m happy to report I’ve nailed the dates down for a summer debut show of the entire series! I’ll be showing them as part of a three week duet show with the talented Sherry Tobin at the Coal Shed Art Gallery in Vallejo, California. More to come as we draw closer to the event, but for now the date to save is the opening reception on August 3rd, 2019.
Numbers “24, 25, and 26” of the series in progress. March 2019
Besides the art making I’ve been playing in my home studio, making it a bit nicer and more functional as a work space. I’ve also opened a new ETSY store to sell my original art! You can reach the shop by heading over to https://www.etsy.com/shop/Artcarlady

Hello and a belated happy New Year to all! Well, it’s already half-way through the first month of 2019 and I’m not ashamed to say that I’m *just now* getting around to posting for the first time this year, because I’ve been so immersed in my new years’ goal to paint more! I’ve been happily at work offline getting *so* much painting in! Since my December post I’ve finished 6 more of the “34” series, bringing the total to 13! I still have an ambitious plan to finish the series by late spring/early summer, and am currently working out the details of a late summer or early fall show where I’ll have the entire set on display.
Besides the “34” I completed two new experimental paintings I’m entering into another show (I will share these at a later date) and am actively exploring other opportunities to get my work out there this year.
As always, you can follow my day to day painting adventures on my Instagram. My top goal of 2019 is to make more time to paint and grow my art business. What are some of your creative goals this year?
Well, hard to believe but here we are in December. The year is winding down and I’m happy to report it’s been a *fantastic one*. Besides enjoying great success with my (non-art) freelancing business, I’ve been able to travel extensively, spend so much quality time with friends and family, and make so much fulfilling art!
I’m still actively working on the “34” Series and previewed the first 7 of the completed works in November at the 2018 Vallejo Open Studios They were well received and looked gorgeous hanging in my friend Sherry Tobin’s Art House. (A whimsical, magically decorated house full of her amazing mosaic art that is also available as an AirBnb getaway rental!)
Painting Number “18” of the “34” Series (Title TBD)
As I head into 2019 I am going to continue working on the series with an anticipated finish of Spring 2019. Besides the ambitious “34″ I already have several other series planned for the new year.
As I look forward to 2019 I’m excited to share more of what I’m working on and shift even more of my time and energy towards painting. I’m posting more often on my Instagram these days, so be sure to follow me to see the latest work in progress videos and behind the scenes clips!
