The mighty pen returns for the rest of the summer after my first book signing event of the year but the next few months will give my writing tools a different kind of exercise. I have my own publishing hat back on for my next journal, I’m helping three other authors publish their books. TwoContinue reading “Publishing and Progress Update”

The Pen and Paintbrush
This weekend’s show was a mix of new faces, family, and fellow creatives. I have to begin with a “Thank you!” To all those who stopped by the The Art Shoppe in Midtown Global Market this weekend! The waves of people visiting all happened so quickly. There was a flurry of showing new pieces andContinue reading “The Pen and Paintbrush”

Show day is tomorrow at The Art Shoppe in Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis at 12:30 pm. I’m excite not just for the weeks creating new art pieces but for the opportunity to have a simultaneous book signing opportunity. A return of regular books events has begun! I’ve impatiently waited for an event where readersContinue reading “Words and Art”
Repeat Day!
I don’t know how well you did yesterday with your rhyming but my skills out loud need help. Talk about a brain freeze. This means that it’s time to do a repeat of yesterday’s exercise but in writing. I may need to do this on the weekend if this exercise doesn’t work right away. Today,Continue reading “Repeat Day!”
Rhyming
One of my former co-workers has a fellow author for a wife, and he’s helped her publish her series on Amazon. She does quite well online and there is something that I admire about her children’s books – they rhyme. Rhyming books that don’t end up like a bad television episode amaze me. Limericks andContinue reading “Rhyming”
Night Owls!
The sun is going down behind the clouds this evening and much needed drizzle for our brown grass. Our grass looks like it moved out West this year. I can hear the stories churning, and I wonder how many will have droughts or weather related content inside. My post today is in the evening becauseContinue reading “Night Owls!”
Celebrating Independence
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence yesterday! I have to say that I’m thankful to live in a place where I can express myself through art and writing freely. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, and to never lack for food. Being a foodie, maybe I indulge a little much. There’s aContinue reading “Celebrating Independence”
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July Weekend! Many Minnesotans are headed to their cabin at the lake to enjoy a long weekend. A procession of boat parades, hours of activities on the water, and nights by the campfire will be in full force as we reach melting temperatures again. Those who decide to stay in the cityContinue reading “Happy 4th of July!”

A celebration is in order! My art pieces were dropped off and put out on display to get ready for Meet and Greet Day on July 10th! A big part of the running around and getting ready for show day is over. I will be ready with pen in hand for book signing at 12:30Continue reading “Celebration Time!”
The Circus Is In Town
Okay, the weekend was a little chaotic trying to get everything ready for show day but it paled in comparison to last night. I think a full blown circus decided to move into town for a few days because I feel like every performer in the show. Not only am I the plate spinning, acrobat,Continue reading “The Circus Is In Town”
Wielding Your Craft
The count day to my Featured Artist spot is only 3 days away and I finished a few more deadlines this weekend. I have to say that I feel comfort in returning to my keyboard to write because the challenges I set for myself for creating new pieces drained all my energy. Returning to somethingContinue reading “Wielding Your Craft”
Art and Writing
Friday is finally here and the frenzy of photo shooting sculptures begins. Participating in shows and events of all kinds are always more work than expected. Prepping of inventory lists, pricing, sales, tools, with business cards and bios for those who stop by to admire your work all have to make their own appearance. ArtistsContinue reading “Art and Writing”
