When I applied last year to the Ravenswood Artwalk, I did so with several "goals/objectives" in mind. I wanted, and honestly needed, more show experience. After taking an 18 month hiatus to find and connect to a new voice, challenge my artistic ability and emerge, RAW was the perfect venue for me. A wonderful and gracious artist community, it presented itself at the right time as did their acceptance into it. I had no idea the full impact or after effect doing RAW would have on me until now, a year later.

This show raised the bar for me. It gave me my new direction, a personal and competitive challenge, focus and clarity. It rewarded me on many levels. I had to get rid of the mental and physical clutter first. Doing so has made me a tad calmer, more determined and a tad more confident. (I say that now. Wait until my next show.)

Actually my next show is coming up. It is this weekend. And proudly again, it is the Ravenswood Artwalk 10th Annual Tour of Arts and Industry. Click here, or preceding RAW link, to find artist locations (alpha by first name) and more details about the show. I'll have some of my Geisha, Inspirational and Whim(sical) mixed media wall art, and bangles to show and sell. I'll gratefully be wearing my RAW Artist 2011 button and a smile at 4611 N. Ravenswood, 1st floor. # 18 on show map.

Come celebrate Chicago Artists' Month!! Give my art a new home! Help remove Clutter so I can make more.
