My First Post

At last!
For months I've been planning, designing, and writing this blog in my head. Now here it is.

For my first post I think I need a mission statement, of sorts.

With this blog
I plan to explore all the forms of art that interest me. You will see art I'm working on, art by friends, and art by heroes of mine. Over time you will see, art for children's books, art to hang on walls or stand in courtyards, and fine crafts and the artists who create them. This space will be filled with stories and pictures of things that I love. I hope to connect with a wider community of artists and interested people. Finally, I believe that maintaining this blog will help/force me to learn more about the cyber world and how to create art within it. I'm a person who cares about art, and even needs art, and yet wrestles daily with creating it.

Thank you for stopping by. Please come back often, and let me know your thoughts about what you see here.

  10. Hi Mary!
    You've created, as expected, a beautiful start for your new online presence- looking at all your fabulous work reminds me of how, as a child, I eagerly anticipated the monthly Scholastic Book Fair Day (which was then a brand new enterprise-clearly I'm dating myself here!) when I could replenish my book supply. Ah, the smell of new paper and ink, and all the magic those books contained for me! You've brought it all back to me. Thank you and best of luck in this new endeavor. Another chapter unfolds!
    Brooke
