This past weekend I was so excited to give my step-mom a painting of her 2 sweet “kids” Sadie (11 years) and Ziggy (who passed a few years ago). it’s taken me nearly 3 years to finish (with the moving between, Florida, Austin & Mass – my studio life has been in upheaval), and I couldn’t have been any happier than to finally be able to frame it and give it to her.

I eagerly joined a drawing club started by a friend of mine from Montserrat. 4 weeks, 4 drawings, and each week you mail a drawing to a different person in the club…that means that every week I mail out a drawing, and every week I get a drawing. Nifty idea, huh?

Things have been busy around here – teaching at Montserrat College of Art has been a blast – and is really rekindling my creativity! It’s amazing to see what my students produce, and completely inspiring to be back surrounded by such a vast amount art! I’ve been back in my studio painting again recently – after quite a long hiatus during grad school – and I’ve also been drawing regularly again as well. It’s nice to get away from the computer every once in awhile!

Summer is winding down here in New England – and this has, admittedly, been one to remember. I finally finished grad school at Savannah College of Art & Design with a M.A. in Interactive Design and Game Development, and was honored to receive the 2010 Academic Achievement Award!

At the end of June I accepted a full-time position at the PETA Foundation as a Senior Designer. I have been a huge supporter of PETA for many, many years – and this job has essentially shaped up to be a dream fulfilled. Though, I was not necessarily looking to leave full-time freelancing for an in-house position – the opportunity was too good to pass up, and I could not possibly be more happy with my decision! I feel quite at home working with PETA, and I honestly don’t have enough good things to say about my new job!

Spring has definitely hit here in New England – the trees have their leaves again, the temps are in the 70′s, and I even harvested my first radishes and lettuce from my vegetable garden! But the world being in bloom isn’t the only excitement around here – I’m also looking forward to finally finishing my Masters Degree in Interactive Design & Game Development from SCAD – and I’ll be walking across the stage on May 29th to get my degree. All the long nights, and lack of weekend fun for the past couple years have paid off!
