If you are in Los Angeles on June 17th I hope you will stop by the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena between 12PM to 6PM. I have been invited to participate in a monster drawing rally to raise money for Outpost at Armory, a collaborative effort between the Armory Center and Outpost for Contemporary Art. There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door and each drawings will sell for $75. Here is the link:

So in the meantime I have been working on drawings and basically trying to see how much I can do in an hour in preparation for the rally. Here is a sample of what I have been working on. I will post the whole drawing when it is finish.

I am finally slowly updating my blog and website. I have added a "Follow by Email" to this blog so if you added your email address you will get a notification when I add a new post to the blog. I also changed my "Followers" to be open to anyone who wants to follow my blog.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see some of you on the 17th.

A New Post Finally!

I've been having a hard time figuring out how to restart posting on this blog. What should I say? What images should I post? Today I felt the need to "rip the band aid off" and just post something. A lot has happened since I last posted; I lost my job due to the store where I worked closing, my child is going to school full time, and a lot of other stuff that's not worth getting into. After much discussions and mild hyperventilations, my husband and I decided that I would finally start my dream of being a full-time artist. After a really rocky start things are slowly beginning to happen. I am finally creating and exploring possibilities. I will be posting more often now. I am posting an image that is hint of what I am working on now.

Three more drawings + Good News!!!

Okay, when I posted this I forgot to mention that these three drawings have been accepted into a show call Aurora at Gallery 825. If anyone want to see them in person (and are in LA) opening night is November 20th and will be up until December 3rd. So you can get all dolled up and go see some good artwork and eat some delicious food afterward while raving about those fantastic drawings you just bought (just a little bit of shameless self-promoting here)!
