SNAP Okanagan – PINKALICIOUS CUPCAKE Contest.
On another note, I have the pleasure of starting to work with Bumbershoot Theatre for their next production, “Dooby Dooby Moo!” It’ll be my first time back onstage since my kidlets were born, and I can’t wait to warm up my vocal chords, dust off my dancing shoes, and play with some fantastic actors !! It’s a show for kids, which means my little girls will get to come and see it. I am SOOO excited!!! I’m a bit nervous to be honest, as it’s been so long, but it will be so much fun, and will feel so great to do something for kids.
Well, i really ought to go and pack up my house a bit, as Rob, the girls and i are moving into our new home next weekend. WOAAAAH!!!! Our own place!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!! Now, off to work…..

Don’t make me Blush!
That’s the name of the latest painting I’ve finished! Here it is!
"Don't Make me Blush!"
It was commissioned by a friend of mine, but I might try to paint a similar one for myself ! There is much work to be done around our house right now, as we just bought our first place!!! So I should be packing up boxes and such, but finding ways to procrastinate is much more fun. Blogging and painting and drinking coffee are legitimate tasks though, amiright???

“Erase the words, ‘yea, but’ from your vocabulary. There is never a perfect time, you’ll never have the right balance in your checking account, you’ll never feel safe enough, or ready enough to do what you want. So, just get on with it already.” Pamela Barsky, Designer

Art at Bumbershoot Theatre!!
It is official~my art is now up and on display!!!! HOOOOLY CRAAAAAAP!! It feels SO fantastic!! Bumbershoot Theatre, a marvelous theatre company here in Kelowna, has given me this opportunity to show my art, and I am so, SOOO grateful. It is such a creative little hub, and I am SO excited and honored to be part of the fun. As of this week, I’m feeling closer than ever to achieving a long-standing dream of mine: being a mom, at home with my kidlets, making art. Nothing sounds more perfect than painting and coloring and playing together, and then sharing all that bright, colorful artwork for all to enjoy. Here it is!!
Ta-Daaaa!! Me and my paintings!
It is SOOOO EXCITING!!!!!! Never before have my abstract and cartoon paintings been on display together, and I am so happy with it! With MUCH help from my family and friends, we hung the abstract art up higher on the wall for a gallery for grown-ups, and the cartoons low, like a gallery for kids! I’ve always wanted to create art that was accessible and easy to connect to, and that inspired children (and adults) to explore their own creative voices. Paintings that are bright, colorful, fun, and not too serious-paintings that make people smile. We all can use a pick me up now and then, and I hope my art does that. Here are close-ups of a couple of pieces:

Quick little post to say that new things are brewing in my art life, and I’m very, veeery, VEEEERY excited!! I must go do some painting, as the founder of a kid’s theatre company in town, “Bumbershoot”, has asked me if I’d like to display my work!! AAAAAAaand….. then an art showing!!! I’ve never had anything like that in my LIFE, and I’m so beyond excited!!
Boil the kettle, pour some hot chocolate, and let the paint flow~a thousand sparkly, cutesy little creatures are about to be created in my art room!!!!!
Elvis the Kitten
There’s a new member of the family, and he’s my new art room companion: Elvis the Kitten. So far he is really great company, even when he’s sticking his nose in paint and stepping on my paintings 
It's nice to have company while I paint

Ferocious!!
Last week’s Illo Friday… I’m just a little slow on the draw. Haha, Get it? Slow on the DRAW? I’m hilarious…
Anyways, the word instantly made me think of the ferocious, smelly, toxic waste diapers my girls create for me. Just one of the glamorous parts of being a mom!!
De-Railed…
I got hung up about three weeks ago on a tricky part of a drawing, and was stuck in a mini rut. But, I’ve got to put my perfectionism aside. This weeks’ illustration Friday word, ‘ferocious’ has inspired me, so I’m working on it…I will post it! Just cause i get stuck on one drawing, doesn’t mean I should stop drawing until I finish it. I just need to put it aside, start fresh, and, if i want, return to the unfinished drawing another day.
It’s a drawing, for crying out loud. i will not be defeated!!
Happy Birthday to me!!
This is a speediest little sketch EVER, but i just had to post it cause today is my birthday, and i LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!
