Just hung January's exhibit at the Organic Natural Cafe in Medford. It's all about Dandelions. I love the graphic quality of them, symmetrical yet scattered. The exhibit will be there through Jan 31, so visit when you have a chance. They are open until 6 pm daily.
Organic Natural Cafe is closing down until January 3rd to have their floors redone. Should like nice. On the night of the 3rd I will be hanging a new art display on the gorgeous old brick walls. Theme will be Dandelions. They have a "fireworks" look which I have decided will work well for the New Year! Happy New Year, come check out the rest of the display at Organic Natural Cafe from January 4-January 31st.
When I was in 2nd grade, my parents “dropped out of society”. They traded our middle class life for an Airstream travel trailer and 3 acres in the woods. We became hippies and lived off the land. My parents did not believe in television, we read books, raised animals and built tree forts and sword fern teepees for entertainment. I learned early on, that if there was something I wanted, I needed to find a creative way to get it. My mom still talks about the time I decided I was ready for my first pair of high heels. I didn’t request that we buy a pair, I just went out to my dad’s workshop and tried to carve them out of a 4" x 4" piece of lumber. I won't even pretend that they were pretty. But, if I want something, I still prefer to make it myself.
In my creative endeavors, I have jumped from publishing poetry to creating jewelry, landscaping and sewing clothing and accessories. I am currently working towards my bachelors degree in Interior Design. Through it all, painting has remained my first love.
