I’ve been a little distant.. mainly hiding in my bedroom biting my nails. I’ve got many, many events coming up this summer, and am on the verge of a panic attack thinking about the amount of work I need to create. And trying to create it. It’s all very, very exciting – this being my first summer of full-time art. It really is the busy season. I’ll be ready for a relaxing March, 2011. Feels good to be busy though.<\/p>\n

\nBe sure to keep up-to-date with upcoming events either on my main blog page<\/u><\/a> or at my facebook page<\/u><\/a>. During June, I’ll be hitting up Topeka, Salina, and Kansas City for festivals. I’ll also be teaching a shadow puppets workshop in Leavenworth at the Carnegie Arts Center from June 21 – 25. I’ll be a roadster in July traveling to Colorado & South Dakota for two festivals, and then hitting the skies for a week in NYC & Long Island for some vacation time.<\/p>\n

My biggest excitement came yesterday: I’ve been invited to participate in the 79th annual 2010 Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City. It is rated one of the top 5 art fairs nationwide and there are over 1500 applicants for 240 spots. Artists from all over the country are involved, and only a handful from the Kansas City area. I feel really, really lucky.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Until my next post, I’ll be off gnawing on my fists in anxiety. 8]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
