I'm welcoming myself onto this blog actually. I've been so busy...honestly...I think the end of 2009 was my busiest of the entire year. And with Christmas thrown into the mix, made it even crazier. I didn't even have time this year to bake for neighbors and friends for the holiday and who knows what they thought about that. I've made treats for people every year and this season it didn't happen.
I also had a solo art Hawk show at a local modern art gallery in my town. I've actually sold quite a few pieces but there are still more left. Above are some that are still available. If anything interests you you can contact ART251 for prices and they will ship in the US. They have more, which I'll post tomorrow. I have another show(gallery walk) that's going on in a couple of weeks also so that should be pretty busy as well. I've been painting a lot of Hawk.

I also made the decision to close down my Dallas showroom due to the fact of the economy and the buyers for stores just aren't attending shows due to the economic status. It hasn't affected everyone, just for some reason me in Dallas. I'm not saying I won't return but for now my Los Angeles showroom Thea is booming :) Thanks to my fabulous rep Brandi! So if your a store and your looking for my art a show contact brandi@theashowroom.com
She can give you show dates for the entire year of 2010.
