Here's a peek at some of the Art...</div>

<br />
My first juried application...<br />
<br />
I'm thrilled that one of my paintings is in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for the ARTSWEST 34 exhibit!<br />
This takes place at the fabulous Eau Claire public library! (I ❤ libraries!)<br />
Last week my Mother-In-Law and I attended the artist reception- very fun~<br />
Here's a lil' blurry photo ... <br />
<br />
I am so pleased with the location the curators chose for my painting & its' awesome neighbor! <br />

This weekend, The Hammond Arts Alliance is hosting an exhibit titled:<br />
FRAMED - Twenty Frames & Twenty Artists.<br />
I will be contributing!<br />
Each Artist was given an identical frame and the freedom to "do, make, create" anything within the frame.<br />
Fun! <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Yesterday I was working </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">in a high school art room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This art room was very large</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> with extremely high ceilings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">What I loved is that there was </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">so much student made artwork on the walls depicting various famous</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">artists from the past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Large impact!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This painting is hung very high and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">really shows the quality that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">pop art can bring to a space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Collaborative work between students and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">an art style resource for the teachers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Perfect.</span></div>
