Scarlet Steps 2012

I just completed my painting for this years Scarlet Steps. It wasn't easy, and many times I wanted to throw white paint over top of it so I could just start from scratch, but I persevered through it and allowed it to become what it was meant to say. It is nothing like I had sketched or planned ahead of time, so that's what made it frustrating. But it became something I could never have thought up by sketching it out. So, I'm hoping this is one of many future paintings that I just allow the Spirit to help me develop as I go.

The painting is based on Act 10:34, 35. If you want to see it, come check out Scarlet Steps on April 6th at the Quilt & Textile Museum!

Inspire Art Ministry Art Show

It's time to get back to painting! And there's a great show I'm getting ready for. My church's art ministry is having a show at Square One Coffee in September and I'm very excited about the theme: God of this City. I'm still playing with ideas of what I want to do, but I don't have much time left either, so wish me luck in getting it done in the midst of taking care of my newest addition.

If you live in Lancaster, check out the show next month and join us for our First Friday opening reception on September 4th from 6-9pm. Square One Coffee is located at 145 N. Duke St in downtown Lancaster.

First Friday at the Keppel Building

For the last few months, a friend of mine and I have been teaching after-school art classes at a local school through the program HeadsUp. It was a great experience for us and we loved working with the students on the various projects. This next First Friday there will be an exhibit highlighting some of them who were involved in this program with their artwork on the walls. It's a great way to showcase the talent of these young students and get their parents more involved in the process. So, if you're out at First Friday in April, stop by the Keppel Building at 329 N. Queen St, on the 1st Floor. HeadsUp will also be showing off some of their other programs they offer, such as capoeira, hip hop and break dancing, so you don't want to miss it!

First Friday Exhibition this Weekend

For the month of February I'll be displaying my latest paintings alongside of fellow Lancaster Indie Art artists for an exhibit with fiber art pieces, handmade journals, original acrylic paintings, photographs and scratchboard etchings. All artwork has been inspired by Habitat for Humanity's vision to eliminate substandard housing and provide hardworking families with the opportunity to own a decent, affordable home. Up to 100% of all art proceeds, as well as $1 of every pound of "House Blend" coffee sold will be given to the Lancaster Area Habitat for Humanity.

The art will be available for purchase February 6-26 at Square One Coffee, with a special First Friday Show this week, February 6 from 6-9pm. All artists will be at the opening, so make sure you stop by this weekend and say hi!
