Art & Spirit

Angel Talk

 Hello Beautiful Art Friends,

This year seems to be going faster than I would like!  On January 15, 2017 I had my first talk at HGSA in Escondido. I was invited to speak about Art and Spirit.  I had a hands on collage project for attendees to participate and make it interactive.  I am pleased to say that the talk was a success and got so much great feedback.

As a result from the talk I sold a painting to a new collector and I was booked to do a workshop at The Healthy Spirit in Chula Vista. It's called "Introduction to SoulCollage(R)" and if you live in San Diego and would like to attend, simply email me with your reservation.  The workshop will take place on April 8, 2017 from 6pm-8pm, and the cost is only $20.00 per person. All materials will be provided, no art experience necessary, so come join me on a self discovery adventure through collage cards!

I've been busy creating small abstracts again, and began a new painting that it's probably a result of my collage work. It's different and can't wait to share it with you.

I am not participating in any group shows or galleries this year. I've pulled back as I'm moving at the end of the year and the search for a small town feel with clean air and low crime has taken more time than I anticipated.

It's great to keep my life simple and focus on the joy of painting without promoting the art through different venues as I often do.

Here is to a New Year, full of mystery and adventure!

Love,
Glad

North Carolina & Florida

Boones, NC

Dear Beautiful Art Friends,

I hope your holidays we good, spend with loved ones and hopefully not too stressful.

I had the chance to go to Sugar Mountain, NC for the first time. It was beautiful, I got to ski after 10 years of not doing so. I had forgotten how much fun it was, and why I would go every year to Big Bear California to do so since I was discovered skiing in 1985.

I got to explore small mountain towns like Blowing Rocks and Boones. I fell in love with the mountain and now I long to live near one.  

Happy to report that everywhere I went in NC, specially in Ashville NC, art is thriving.  Wonderful sculptures in public places, galleries, co-ops and artful communities.  

I gave my first public speaking talk about Art & Spirit on January 15, 2017 at Harmony Grove in Escondido. I was nervous but it went well. We had an interactive part where we created collage cards so it was really fun...I see more collage workshops in the future ;)

I will keep you updated in case you want to learn more about them.

This is it for now, I must really get back to painting.

Love,
Glad
