Art Exhibit: Spring to Life

This will be my first art show. A friend of mine who owns an art center in downtown Covington, Kentucky invited me to display my art works this coming March. It's at Passionate Art Center located along Pike Street . I am living my dream...that's how I phrase my life since I made a vow with my better half in 2005 and delivered our first baby in 2006.

But what I didn't expect was to have an art show this year. I've always just picture that in my dream, ever since I was a kid. I've joined art contests in elementary and my drawings & posters were exhibited in the school's art club. After that, I thought my road in art ended when I entered college and took a degree in Computer Science. But my passion in art has never change.

The title of the show is "Spring to Life".

Definition: v., sprang (sprăng) or sprung (sprŭng), sprung, spring·ing, springs. To issue or emerge suddenly To move upward or forward in a single quick motion or a series of such motions; leap. To cause to leap, dart, or come forth suddenly

As for me, this will be a leap for me...a leap of faith. I may sell or may not sell, but the feeling of coming out from being confined behind the computer while selling my arts & prints is definitely great! Thanks to Barb, owner of Passionate Art Center for opening the door of her center to emerging artists like myself. Of course, I owe this big hearty thank you also to my husband who encourages me in what I do and critics me as well.

Passionate Arts Center

Finally, I was able to blog again after all the troubles of our move from Columbus to Northern Kentucky. Let me take that back...it wasn't really a trouble. I guess, it's quite stressful yet God had worked all throughout.

Unpacking was smooth also despite of a 1 yr. old curious baby trying to help me in every box I opened. And finally the Christmas Tree is up (not real though, only a 6 ft. fake one).

We stayed with a lovely family before we actually found a place, an apartment. And I was blessed enough to meet them through a very lovely friend of mine as well. God has indeed always at work and brings people together.

Last week I got an invitation from Barb (the family we stayed with) that their Art Center is having a Creative Art Holiday Market at Passionate Arts Center. In as much as I want to get a spot, I couldn't because of my husband's work and my baby. But I'd like to announce this to any artists around Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky who would like to show case your art work or handmade stuffs in the event. There's no charge to get a space for this event, you're just required to set-up your display space and sell your items. This will be on December 7, Friday from 6pm-10pm. If you're not an artists, but an art enthusiasts, this is something you shouldn't miss.

There will be live band and refreshments in the event.
