I can't wait for the Sept/Oct Somerset Studio issue because I am going to have a 10 page spread in it with an article by Rice Freeman-Zachary. So yesterday when I was checking out the July/Aug issue, I was blown away to see my article in it! Back in April I sent a blog post called How Long Does It Take? into Somerset Studio and never heard back from them. I had no idea they had even planned to publish it! I am so excited! My words are published now too!

Newest piece!
I was inspired by this quote and concept, "It's amazing how not hiding from RESISTANCE, LIBERATES you from it."
Love By Design
in Other themes
I am thrilled to be donating 25- 18" x 24" posters to be sold at the Love By Design Event Hosted by AIGA Orlando to raise money for the families of the victims of the Orlando shooting at Pulse. All money collected will be donated to oneorlando.org. The event will be held Saturday, June 25 from 2-8pm at 2424 E. Robinson Street, Orlando. See below for more details or here.
In response to the tragedy at Pulse, AIGA Orlando is inviting our entire city to Love by Design, an event that will inspire and empower us all to stand against discrimination.
Held Saturday, June 25 from 2-8pm at 2424 E. Robinson Street (also known as the Tasty Tuesdays food truck location behind the Milk District bars), Love By Design is for civic leaders, creative professionals and anyone else who cares about the future of our city. Representatives from the LGBTQ and Muslim communities will share their stories as we begin the process of healing from our collective heartbreak. Together, we will determine how to move forward as a city that lives with more love every day.
Even more than a reflection on this tragic event, Love by Design will be an all-day celebration of The City Beautiful's talent, diversity and resilience. Local artists and designers will donate original work for sale and auction. Food and entertainment will be provided by local musicians and food trucks. Proceeds will benefit OneOrlando, the fund formed by the mayor’s office to respond to the needs of our community in the wake of the Pulse Tragedy.
AIGA Orlando is a professional association for design and creative professionals. Formed in 2000, the association currently has about 250 members, and grew 68% in 2015 alone. Their mission is to nurture a thriving creative community and serve as a hub for creatives in the area.
Florida Watercolor Society
in Figures
I have had the huge honor of being asked to do a demo at the Florida Watercolor Society 45th Annual Convention in September. (wahoo!) I figure it is my duty to attempt a watercolor piece and to enter into the show to go along with my acrylic (done in an aqueous manner.) My challenger insisted! Well I love a challenge and I just love how this piece came out!! Here is The Inspector done in stages. I'll let you know if I get in!

Using Acrylics in an Aqueous Manner
Yeah. You people know who you are! I have been challenged to get a piece into the Florida Watercolor Society Show. So here's my new piece per instructions. "Using acrylics in an aqueous manner...". Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. Butter Me Up.
