Manhattan Arts International has made me the Featured Artist of the Week on their website.

December Exhibition at Projekt30.com

After applying to Projekt30.com monthly competitions, after having a more consistent portfolio for them to judge, my art was final accepted into the competition. Yay! I know....a small small step, but it is still a step in the right direction. I only submitted my flowers and you can view the December Exhibition and see 29 other great artists as well. You can also only view my pieces.
This Exhibition will be up for the entire month of December, then replaced by the next month exhibit, which I also applied to. Judging for the January Exhibit starts December 15.

Site Launch

It has always been my dream to have my art out there and to possibly sell it. It took me almost 7 years of procrasination, but I finally did it, I finished my website. I tend to overcomplicate things and I am sure my site could have been alot simpler, but hey–it's my baby, and I want it just right.  

It took me almost 6 months of working on it day and night. I wanted to make a flash version and a html version. The problem was, I didn't know flash very well. I did spend time and learn it and then created the site, and that was a great learning experience.

It took me like 10 years to wake up and realize one day that I can never be a successful fine artist if I never make the attempt to get my art out there. Yeah, I am completely out of my comfort zone but I am glad that I did this. Through out all the late nights of completing this site I kept telling myself, "launch it and they will come"  and I hope to GOD that they will come and BUY!
