Word of 2014

4/2/2014

0 Comments

I struggle with the concept of consistency constantly.  I can a great chunk of world can relate to this.  Life is complicated and full of the ever growing "to do" list.  There are just not enough hours in the day to get it all done.  I, personally, hold a full time day job, have a house to maintain (seriously who has time to keep it in show-home-clean state that I used to expect of myself?), friends, family that lives far away to keep in touch with, my wonderful boyfriend who works out of town, and then there is my art and promoting of my work.  So many things and so little time and somewhere in there i need to sleep and throw in a shower.  When did it all get so busy? 

I have learned that sometimes the house cleaning will just have to wait. It will be there to do tomorrow.  I have to remind myself of one of my favorite "lessons" you can often here me recite to friends.  "You will never be on your death bed and say 'Damn. I wish I would have WORKED and/or CLEANED more!'".  How true is that?!?!??? 

Slotting in time to rejuvenate ones self and time to do things we love is crucial to maintaining our selves.  I have learned I need to paint, not only because I want to promote and share my art but because I LOVE IT!  The real reason I picked up painting and have continued to do it is because it's good for my soul.  It makes me feel complete. It allows me to express and release something visceral that negates away daily anxieties or stress. 

What do you love to do? 

What do you do that you get absolutely lost in?

Ask yourself:  If money were not a factor, what would you do with your time? 

Picture
Sometimes the reality is that we all don't get to do what we absolutely love to do to earn our living and some simply choose not to.  I see a great benefit to having my day job. It allows me to do both right now, to have the day job to take care of my life responsibilities and allows me to devote my downtime to my art work without any extra cloud of pressure that if I don't sell I don't make my mortgage.  For right now that works best for me.    It provides me the privilege to paint for absolute unfiltered joy and it gives you, the viewer, the best version of my work.  On the flip side of that there is still another side of me whom hates to have to stop painting because I have to go to bed due to work in the early morning.  But I digress....... 

" Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."
                                                                                                                - Joseph Campbell
I filled out a form a while ago (for lack of a better term). It was a start of year plan of sorts that asked you a bunch of questions about personal growth and what a person saw as goals for the year and the first question was something along the lines of (I paraphrase):

If you could think of a word to represent the year a head, what would it be?

I will be honest, it was the first question and I was stumped.  I never fully completed the form but this question stuck with me.  Three months into 2014 and my word has come to me. 

CONSISTENT 

I want this year to be the year I breath a little easier and settle into a little more of a routine between all the balls I try to juggle.  I want to find a little more central balance. 

What would your word be?

Timeraiser 2013 - Edmonton

10/29/2013

This is my painting that will be up for auction this year. Title: Where does the time go? Size: 20" x 30" Medium: Acrylic on canvas
I have been chosen as one of the participating artists in the upcoming Timeraiser event on November 9, 2013 in Edmonton. I was part of this event last year and what a wonderful organization. The basic premise is they purchase art from local artists (they hold these events all over Canada) and they auction off the items in exchange for volunteer hours with local organizations that also take part in the event.  It is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town organized by Framework. It’s a wonderful way to give back to your community (while enjoying a alcoholic beverage if you so choose) but you get a beautiful piece of art at the end of your hours. 

Check out more about Timeraiser here

Just got home from setting up 22 of my works at Remedy Cafe on 109th Street. The late night set up was a heck of a lot smoother (and way quicker) with the help of a great friend.

Remedy has a fantastic reputation for chai (which is not my flavor but for those of you whom love it you should give theirs a try) and they have AMAZING baklava!

Some of my work is being featured at The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse for the month of March. The Carrot is located on 118 Ave and is a amazing support to local artists and actively involved in the revitalization of 118 Ave.   

This month is in support of the SkirtsAfire Festival. The SkirtsAfire is a festival that empowers, celebrates, develops, supports and showcases women in theatre and other art forms.

Thank you to the venue for choosing me to be a part of this line up.  Big shout out to Heather, whom I have been dealing with first hand in getting my items coordinated and hung.  It's been a pleasure!

If you are in the neighborhood stop in for a delicious hot beverage and a look at the art!

....... to being done some new work! The number of "half finished/not complete/need some more love/almost done" canvases that are gathering in my living space is getting a little crazy.  As I have mentioned I have the upcoming Whyte Ave Art Walk on July 13-15 and have been scrambling to get prepared for the unknown. 

I also had another solo showing pop up that I got prepared in a hurry (post about that to follow).

Thank you, Celebration Home, for this opportunity. I'm grateful for the chance to participate.
