I do believe my web page has become a victim of the pandemic. or maybe it is just me being lazy. It has been about 2 years now since I have paid much attention to the business side of my art. I easily fall into the excuse of the issues of right brain and left brain. And yes, mine definitely seem to fight each other.
It is so much easier to want to create something than it is to plan, log, research, and fill in all the blanks. Case in point. I just looked at my art resume. I have not touched it since 2016. Wow, where has all that time gone. This whole journey started when I asked a business if I could display in their building. I was told I needed to submit a portfolio - letter of interest, Resume and samples of my art for review. I thought to myself, sure no problem but then my left brain shut down. I began to realize what a daunting task this was about to be. Thankfully, my old bookkeeper skills, however dormant they may be, had me saving letters and documentation from past gallery shows. My organizational skills still leave a lot to be desired. But this evening, I finally got a good start on it. And hopefully, my web page should be a little easier to bring up to date. I really need a business manager and web designer to keep me on track and accountable.
Now with all that said, one would think I have been busy in the studio painting away. But no, most of my creativity has been channeled towards hardscaping my yard. It has been a two year project and it just now starting to look like something. With summer temperatures on the rise, It may be awhile before the next round, but for now it is a serene place to enjoy our hillside.

A work in progress... mostly right brained.
