Let's see, here's the quick run down of where I've been in life since that very last blog post (which now looking back it was definitely a turning point for me!).
-Got back in touch with an old friend (via our artist shenanigans with the newly formed A.C.C.E. group, Art Can Change Everything)
-More shenanigans, including a crazy awesome art installation in a pop-up gallery, (think large bird's nest)
-Decided to open a studio (!!!) with that friend, Carmen Lugo
-Strange Bird Studio was born!
-Hustled like crazy to make that dream a reality! Painted my fingers off, sold art, taught classes
-Enjoyed an amazing time connecting with people and other artists within ACCE
-More shenanigans, called a Surrealist Spectacle (where I dress up like a dark bird and live painted to some amazing music)
-Found out I was pregnant!! :-O
-Had to make some tough decisions regarding the studio
-Ultimately husband and I decided I needed to take a break from the studio to take care of our son (one of the hardest decisions I've ever made!)
-Jude William Daniel was born!
-Fell in love like I never thought possible
-Currently a stay at home mom, who is freelance with all her art endeavors. (And now I drag my little Jude to all my art shenanigans, including a street long outdoor art gallery called Re:Vieux when he was 3 months old)
There you have it! If you made it this far, thanks for sticking it out (believe me it was crazy times)
A lot of life change and experiences, but you know, I wouldn't change a thing about it. Now I'm acclimating to life with an 8 month old who gets into everything, while still continuing to pursue an art career. Here is where you can expect me to try to stay true to my painting, to learn and grow as a parent (and artist!), and to find my voice and speak about all of those things and more.
So stick around, it could get pretty interesting up in here. ;-)

(p.s. I leave you with a shameless picture of just how cute my son is)
