I'm back!!

Wed Dec 2, 2009, 11:42 AM
Its true. I missed you guys too much. I've decided after a long absence (like a year and a half!) to come back to the DA community. I just uploading two new drawings to my gallery. I hope you all like them.

I guess I could provide everyone with an update on my life . . .

As far as art goes, I've recently gained representation by a gallery in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The gallery has been working out great for me and I feel blessed to be one of their member artists. You can see the gallery at [link]

I haven't been able to enter many juried shows this year. Unfortunately there have been some major events in my life that occasional cause my artwork to be pushed to the back burner. I was married in May 2008 and then divorced July this year (sad I know but I'm so much happier now!) Divorce is expensive and I'm just now getting to where I can afford the time to draw. I tried working in insurance sales for a while but it just takes up so much time!

So now I'm trying to get out a new original at least once a week. I'm focused on my artwork now. I'm planning on moving out to New Mexico in 2010, the Albuquerque/Sante Fe area, to really work on making a career out of this. My western art should go over pretty well there.

So that's the update. Its good to be back!

Things with my nanny having chemo has been tough too, but school is almost out and I can really do some damage :lol: But I've learned new stuff to try out and cant wait. I appreciate you looking through my stuff!

Kewl! Studying art in school eh? Mind I ask where you are attending? The nagging mother side of me always suggest to art majors that they take some business classes as well... just throwing that out there.

Sorry to hear about your Nanny, is chemo helping?

Can't wait to see some new stuff from you over the holiday break! Keep up the awesomeness girly!
:iconelbyleeshay:
Indeed I am. I got the Art Scholarship from the University of the Cumberlands (as is where I am attending.) I commute to so no campus living lol. Actually I am double majoring in Art and Psychology. I plan to go into clinical psych. and work with more than likely adolescence, and soon specialize with Down Syndrome. Also with an art deg. i can use art as therapy. Later on I want a further deg. in art and on the side have my Studio. maybe even a little prof. photography too!!!!! I am gonna be busy hun :lol:

That's ok hun. She just finished her chemo. It was really hard on her, its been very hard, especially when she lost her hair, she's been really sick and had a lot of mouth problems. But now she is on the mend. No more chemo!!! She has 5 to 7 wks of radiation but that wont be hard on her more than likely.

Thanks so much for having an interest in my art too. i hope to do more work and get a lot posted over christmas. Im working on a few things aready its just getting to finish them :3 Just keep your eyes open :hug:
