I love to create! I especially love to paint. The rest of the stuff that goes along with being a working artist these days Is hard! Creating a constant flow of content is exhausting! The possibilities that exist now on ways for an artist to show and share their process are vast!  You know Tik-Tok, or as my husband and I like to call it "The Tikety-Tok", isn't just for teenage girls anymore. It has quickly become yet another social media avenue that makes it  possible for artists to market and self -promote.

The painting is done, and the opportunity to document the painting is out the window. So let's pretend. Let me take you on the journey of my latest piece that I have titled "I'm  Learning". I’ll set the scene. I paint in my small studio in my home, but I also go to an art class every Friday morning at a local Art School. I've been taking classes there for about 5 years now. I love it! It is uninterrupted time for me to focus. A time for me to surround myself with other creative, talented people. I love the smell. It reminds me of the Art Building at KU. So I load my car every week with all my shit....I mean stuff and spend my Friday painting, experimenting, and implementing lessons and techniques that I have learned through past successes and failures until Voilá.
