BIG GRATITUDES

"Art is a journey to the center of one's being."
ANGEL WISDOM
Terry Lynn Taylor & Mary Beth Crain


I have asked for and received some of my greatest wishes in life.  Creating art and also selling it!!
I have a sign above my work table with some of my favorite words, by Julia Cameron="Great Creator, I'll take care of the quantity, if You'll take care of the quality."


Until recently I have worked alone in my studio creating many, many works of art.  I am driven by thoughts in my head of images and words I wish to share.  Three years ago I quit working at my National Park Service job in order to create on a full time basis, (before it is "too late")!  That year I came home from Colorado and cleaned the slate.  I gathered and gave away many pieces of art. I felt their time had come to leave me.  I called and emailed my kiddoes and said if you want presents for your friends for giving as Christmas gifts, come and get them!  It was a wonderful sight to see my art pieces to go to loving homes.


I learned many years ago from my first spiritual mentors, Pat and Sid Fuselier, that for abundance to come to me, I had to make room for it.  I still have trouble believing how fast that emptiness was filled.  I have been creating new and different art ever since.  Art coming from a place of mystery and wonder!


I now have a solo show at The Acadiana Center for the Arts.  It is in the vault of what was originally a bank building, and from which the art center was repurposed.  The opening was a couple of weeks ago and I had a huge crowd, many of which really looked at my work and talked about it to me.  What a concept.  I love that.  The exhibit of 28 pieces will hang for two months and I will have another open house at Lafayette's next monthly Artwalk on March 12th.


I also have been accepted in the BIG EASEL, a yearly show in the town square at River Ranch.  Last night was a preview night at the Lounge gallery which is connected to the restaurant Tsunami, also in downtown Lafayette.  My work was accepted well there as well. 


I feel so filled with love and gratitude for all of my family and friends who have supported me in this "believable" adventure.


I hope you, too, clean your slate and fill it with your own most wished for adventure!
Since this blog is not allowing me to upload photos at this time, you can see my favorite work on the ACA website, under exhibits.)


Namaste-
