Hi all,
So obviously it has been an excessively long time since I have posted. Life has been exceptionally busy and I have been working on the trajectory for my creative and wandering adventures. This blog will shortly be getting a major overhaul as I take my creativity in a more organized direction. 2012 has been a beautiful year filled with adventures. Now to recap some of the highlights before we move on into the new year. 2012 was filled with art shows; The Oregon Water Ways Exhibit at the Giustina Gallery as well as the 7th Annual Community Show at the same venue, A Juried Art Show at North Santiam Hall where I took home the Best in Show (My first yet!), Extremes (A ceramic showcase) at The Arts Center, and Leap Year at the Majestic Theater. I also participated in my first quilt show, The Sisters Quilt Show in Sisters, Oregon and my first craft show at the OSU Memorial Union in December. In addition to art shows, I completely designed and costumed my first full theater musical this year, RENT at the Majestic Theater, where I had the most wonderful assistants a girl could ask for. It was a crazy ride but the show turned out great and the newspaper and the public relayed how much they loved what we did with the show.
I continued teaching like crazy (The Arts Center, Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility, A Drawing Program, and private lessons), working in the studio (for more hours than most sane people would do), acting for the Pharmacy program at OSU, doing random creative odd jobs, and picking dance back up. With all this crazy, random, creative goodness, I have still managed to take a few mini adventures (though not as many as this coming year will see, but I will get to that later). I did some couch hopping in Portland and Eugene, and took my first ever Disney related trip. Like I said, mini adventures, but they were wonderful and it was great to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones along the way.
The new year will see more art shows (I hope), much more teaching, more creative projects than I will probably be able to keep everyone informed of, and my next solo travel adventure! This time it will be a 2(ish) month jaunt around Northern (probably) Europe (probably), unless I get distracted and find myself swept off to Greece again or somewhere equally interesting. It will be one of those fly by the seat of my pants adventures, and yes, for those of you who support, but are none the less concerned by, my wanders, solo again. I can't express how excited I am for the possibilities of the new year, both travel and art related.
Thanks so much, as always, to all of you wonderfully amazing people who support me and cheer me on every step of the unpaved way. You are so dear to me. Until next time, happy journeys!
