Glassell Student Art Show 2013

Each year Glassell has a student art show around the holidays.  It's a great time to find some one of a kind gifts, or if you're like me, it's a great time to acquire a few more pieces of art for your own personal collection : )


I went to the show last month and WOW! there was a lot of art to look at.  I didn't show any of my art, but if I am enrolled in Glassell this year, I will give it some serious consideration.


I was immediately attracted to one of the first paintings I saw.  As I walked along,a couple of other paintings caught my attention.  Each turned out to be by the same artist, so it's fair to say that I appreciate this artist's work.  Since the pieces were fairly large, I told myself that I would keep them in mind and, if after looking at the rest of the art, the first one was still there, then it was meant to be and I would buy it.  Later, after I had finished looking at the paintings, ceramics, drawings, jewelry and mixed media, I hurried back over to where we started and the painting was still there.  I walked away with it while some people were there looking at it...they didn't appear to be discussing whether or not they wanted to buy it, so I don't feel too bad :)


The painting is called Snow by Sabine Juery and I'm happy to say it looks beautiful hanging over my sofa.

Hello from PeaceHeartWorks!

This year is the year I decided to finally pursue my interest in art.  It's weird how everything kind of fell into place just when I finally had a little time available to dedicate to the pursuit of my artistic dreams. Thanks to my artist friend, LeeAnn Gorman, we learned about Art Square Studios, got on the waiting list for a studio and, in March of this year, I learned that one would be available in May.  At that point, I had to decide whether or not I was ready to take what, for me, was a really huge step and sign a lease on a studio.  This was one of those times when, although I was somewhat fearful of taking this plunge, my heart was saying "DO IT!!!! This is the first step in realizing your dreams!" So I did it, and then I promptly took a big second step and signed up for my first class at Glassell School of Art across from the MFAH.

While talking to my friend Cody at lunch one day, he suggested I start a blog so I could post pics of my school work and anything else I create along the way.  Thanks for the nudge Cody : )  With the Art Square Studios Open House just around the corner (Nov. 2), I figured now's as good a time as any to start the blog.  So, here goes....
