Feliz Cumpleanos a Mi (to my blog, that is)!

Yes, this is it! The One Year Birthday of my blog, "La Vida Artistica=The Artistic Life". I can hardly believe it. It has been a most amazing year, both in the blogosphere and in real life.

I am also coming up on my one year anniversary of teaching mixed media classes in the Seattle area, after taking a break from teaching for a few years. I have met the most fabulous people and students through my art workshops, and look forward to many more new 'connections'. I have met some very talented creative types through blogging, and I'm so excited to expand those connections and friendships, as well.

Perhaps you might take a few minutes to read my very best blog posts from 2009:

A HUGE thank you from me to you: to everyone who has taken the time over this past year to make a connection with me, share bits of yourself and your creative process and create meaningful dialogue!!

The earrings I am wearing today have this inscription: "Do what you love." and "Love what you do." I hope you all will continue to work towards those ends, for it is a lifelong process!

Back from ArtFest 2009

I just returned last weekend from ArtFest, a wonderful art retreat held in Port Townsend, Washington. As usual (it's my 5th year attending), I was filled with the 'creative' spirit, made new art friends and reconnected with old ones.  See more of my photos at my Flickr site

I am sending a HUGE thank you to Teesha and Tracy Moore and 'company' (the wonderful volunteers) for a fantastic ArtFest experience. My instructors were ALL fabulous: Michael deMeng, Sas Colby and LK Ludwig (Lori, I hope your wrist has mended!!). I learned so much...

Definitely a tough concept at ArtFest...slow down!

Really getting into my artwork 'zone'...

A few pieces that I did during LK Ludwig's Metal Mesh class.
