ART SHOW!!!

Art has always been exciting to me. I am happy to share that I’m participating in a Literary and Visual Art Show in November with other artists from a group called Artist U. Artist U is a program for any kind or artist or creative person that focuses on taking yourself seriously as an artist, prioritizing your artistic work, and purposefully planning your life. 

The topic of the show is Home and all the different things that it means for people. This summer I started writing a series of poems imagining the potential different people I might have become if I’d made different choices. For example, an apartment building is one thing, but it contains many things. I’ve imagined that the apartment building includes a different version of myself in each of eleven apartments. The poems give voice to those people and their perspectives. The text will be incorporated into a mixed media collage.

I’m so thankful to the Artist U program, the other participating artists, and for the opportunity to create art. 

Updates and more information coming soon. Thanks for reading!

Wishing you peace.
