Life Lessons

Well a deep sigh started this blog post.

I have not heard from the Salmon Days Festival so assume I have not been juried in this year.

Neither of my pieces were sold at Artful Evening but I learned much from the experience and had a few others learn a little about me.Way back in this blog there is a story of Joe Davids piece being displayed the wrong way up at a walkthrough.The same thing happened to me and I had the good fortune to have Stephano Catalani ,current curator of the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle at hand to help me deal with this delicate situation.

Among ali the strange political happenings across the globe this week an all party report was published by the British government on the roll of the Arts,Health and Well-being.I am looking forward reading to this in depth.An evidence-based piece of cross party research is a powerful tool.i hope to find some applications for my future studies.I think it will help as a reference funding applications and in forming my application to return to studying.

Inspiration and a small surprise

We have a new exhibit at Bellevue Arts Museum .A touring exhibit called Cut Up Cut Out. It covers just about ever media that can be cut to convey an artist message.There are around 50 artists and 100 pieces of art to tour.

I find this work inspiring along with that of many others and an looking forward to touring this exhibit.

This morning I attended my volunteer orientation for Bellevue City so I can now officially volunteer in the perennial border along with volunteers.On Thursday mornings I’ll be weeding and socialising in this beautiful garden environment.I feel like I have more to learn about gardening here the longer I work my yard so this is a great learning opportunity
