It's busy in the studio.  The 'balls are in the air': Completing the painting shown above, creating a few bold jewelry pieces, communicating with a various designers about commissions then working on the sketches and approval for those commissions, sitting at the computer to complete administrative tasks.  These are the 'balls' that I juggle, and it's all about use of time.  How best to use it to accomplish what needs to be done and what I want to get done.  I have just been notified that another of my paintings has been selected to become Street Art Banner in Kings Beach, CA.  It will be photographed and printed on special material which is appropriate for outdoor elements. More juggling of time.

In this time period of political awareness of women and their accomplishments I am particularly pleased to have one of my Native American Woman portraits selected.  This portrait of one woman represents the many who were part of a group who learned an art form from their mothers, passing down cultural history, artistic vision and then innovating to take utilitarian containers into an art form.  Dat so la Lee was a leader among basket weavers, known as the Queen of the Washoe Basket Makers.  It is an honor for me to have this painting selected for a Street Art Banner and it is a great way to bring honor to Dat so la Lee and her contemporaries who created emblems of heritage and statements about cultural evolution through their art form.

It's a busy time in the studio, the juggling continues, and all those balls remain in the air.
