Last year (or was it the year before?) a friend sent me a link with a video featuring the sketchbook project by the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn. While visiting their site, I discovered an upcoming project, a project about which I agonized (because that's what I do best) with respect to participating. I butched up, signed up and participated. Now after a long, long, LOOONGGG wait, the book for the project has arrived.
Every participant was given three words for which they were to produce a visual definition. The words were submitted by the general public, and were selected randomly. One of the three canvases of each participant was to be reproduced in a booklet containing these digital images. They chose my canvas illustrating the word "atmosphere." I think there's a picture in the way-back-pages of my blog. Anyway, the book arrived today and I'm so excited. It's silly given that all I had to do was participate to be published, but I don't care! It's a book and it has my name in it, so I'm have a celebratory glass of chardonnay. Like I needed an excuse ;-)
I am an Air Force brat, a self-taught artist, and a part-time mom these days. I work out my artistic demons by making stuff and trying to find the humor when things go wrong. I have a spouse, two grown kids and cats that barf and bring horrible things into the house, so things do go wrong. My youngest is in college and only home during breaks, so I'm almost an empty nester, alone more than not and trying to figure out this new stage of life. Time to make a mess.
