Summer

It has been a while since my last blog. 
What did you do you on your summer vacation? 
I love summer, I love being outside, running, biking, swimming, hiking.  My summers have turned into active outings: rowing, road trips, races. Here are some new pieces and a glimpse from the summer.



To update; the Milwaukee Avenue Art Fest was not great and unfortunately I will do it again next year and just hope for a better event. I felt the fest screwed the artists who participated and that is all I will say. Except the best part, my favorite part was the band THE FISHERMEN played opening night at my reception.  They were perfect punk bluegrass.  Who doean't love a banjo?! Moving forward I had a wonderful trip west that fueled a few new pieces.  I also spent a couple days in Michigan on the beach; my happy place!
  

Angels Landing Zion National Park


I did my 3rd triathlon which is motivating experience from training to the finish line.  I started rowing for the first time this summer and I cannot say it enough that rowing on the river; seeing all the city wildlife surrounded by the skyscrapers and impressive graffiti makes me want to vandalize too.
