Art Shows of 2011

Three Art Exhibits wrapped up 2011 including Lightcrafters participation in the Armadillo Bazaar. Donna, Ziya and I participated in the EAST show at Connie Green's Beer Garden located behind Joe's Place at MLK and Chicon. It was a beautiful show over 2 Saturdays. Ziya and I then exhibited at the Hyde Park Bar and Grill (Westgate) during December-the show was beautiful and well displayed. I wrapped up the holidays exhausted with my Annual Holiday Art Show and Gift Sale for 2 days only with over 15 artists  on my backyard patio. It was a great run and promised myself never to schedule that kind of work during the holidays again ! 
I also turned 50 this December and made a 360 degree change to return to Mental Health and left my 8 years of Lightcrafters in Austin to work for Caritas of Austin. This was a big change and a perfect match for my interest in mental health. I will participate in only 2 shows this year including my own show in Oct 2012 at Hyde Park Bar and Grill Central. This is a nice goal 10 months out to paint around 30 pieces. Gonna be a great year !
