Updated

I've added new drawings, mixed media, and paintings!

Museums

Today I visited the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. The DMA has a temporary exhibition that I absolutely loved:

	A Painting in the Palm of Your Hand: 18th-Century Painted Fans from the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection

Fans are more than practical; they are a communication tool. From Grand Tour souvenirs to statements about women in society, the variations that a paper fan can undertake have certainly caught my fascination.

Denton Art Show

Brian Gore and I are having an art show on Friday, July 13th (7 pm - 3 am) at Natalie's Cafe and Hookah Lounge in Denton. There will be live music by some of our amazing friends. I guarantee it will be a good time!

Snippet

The newest update for me is that I will be attending UCD in Dublin, Ireland beginning this September. I will be pursuing a Masters degree in Cultural Policy and Arts Management. I can't wait to see what new changes will come!

Discoveries

Inside:
I have been discovering things that are therapeutic to me and have been observing effects of the good and the bad, within and without.

Outside:
Side discoveries I enjoyed today were finding little "to go hummus" packages and finally purchasing regular size scissors.

Trees

The 500X show comes down on Sunday so I figured it was time for a new post.

I have several works in progress that I'm planning to have finished soon, complete with photos on the website. Be keeping an eye out for them in the next few weeks.

I feel a greater connection with trees lately. I feel the need for growth.

Junior/Senior Prom

There is an art opening this Saturday (May 12) at 500x gallery in Dallas. Pats on the Back will be there, along with an anticipated variety of art of all mediums. (6-10 p.m., directions on the 500x website.) Be sure to tell your friends. The show will be up until June 2.
