A detail of one of my new painting, in progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Somewhat spontaneously, I pulled together my first artist submission last month to exhibit my work<\/a>, and I just found out that I was selected. It is a small two-month show at a local museum, and will be the first line on my cv.<\/p>\n

Really the first step on my artistic journey was pushing myself through the Artist’s Way <\/a>twice. For those of you who haven’t read it, it’s 12-week creativity workshop. The first time, I went through most of the book but did not make any concrete moves.<\/p>\n

I picked the book up a couple years later, and this time had my breakthrough – I established a concrete goal – to sign up for one art class at Emily Carr<\/a>, since I lived in Vancouver within biking distance of the school.<\/p>\n

After the first class, I loved it and managed to work through a certificate program in art and one in Marketing & Professional Writing (SFU) while working full time. By the time I finished the programs, I was having my first baby, then working full time in communications and having another baby.<\/p>\n

Now that I sleep through the night again, most of the time, and have settled back into work (a year and a half full time), I am ready to move forward again on the art career. It’s exciting, and I’m curious to know what direction my path will take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
