I've submitted for three exhibitions... which is exciting. :) The process has reminded me of how exciting it is to imagine the possibility of my work being represented in a public venue again.
It's been awhile and it feels good. REAL good.

Just as soon as I said I was going to focus on my art and this website, I've found myself spending time working on the website (and think I'm ok with leaving it where it for now).

So much to do and so little time...
Being that I work in IT, it takes a lot to get me excited about working on my website. What? Spend MORE time behind a computer? Exactly! In any case, it's one of those things I just need to make time for. I have completed pieces that I need to photograph and upload so that all of YOU can see it. Speaking of my art being seen... I am working on a new body of neon work that I am planning to exhibit at Zocolo Coffee shop. I'm hoping for a holiday exhibition because there's something nice about having the neon (and the Christmas tree) brightening up the place. Now I just have to see if they already have someone slated for that time (I hope not). I've also thought about getting my work in the Oakland Art Hop and Art Murmur but the challenging bit about shows like that is that my work isn't exactly easy to transport and install. In fact, it's a downright project to transport and install. But... it's what makes my heart go pitter-patter, so... it's time to focus and submit for exhibition, and exhibit. So in December of 2010, I had a show at a little local coffee shop named Zocalo. During that one month long show, I had numerous inquiries from people interested in buying my work. /honored! However, this is something that I hadn't really emotionally prepared myself for... selling my work would be like selling a piece of my soul.
Over the past 18 months, I've thought seriously about the 'concept' of actually selling my work. I have resolved myself to the idea of selling my work but not adapting my work for sale. Does that make any sense? |
About me...
I work in the IT industry by day managing a team of software developers. I very much enjoy what I do. Technology changes as quickly as it gets boring so this career is suited perfectly for me. Categories |
