Looking back on my 1st Studio Tour in 2014!
In 2014, after moving to Austin and soon after becoming a new mom, I ventured into its lively art scene. I boldly approached an architectural firm on E 7th Street, pitching the idea of displaying my work during the EAST Austin Studio Tour. They agreed, and while I was ready with my art, I hadn't prepared for the torrential down pour that stretched across the majority of both weekends. Still, passionate art lovers braved the rain, their enthusiasm and kind words lighting up the venue.
That was me in 2014, completely green- but filled with joy doing what I loved!
Yet, amidst this warmth, I felt a twinge of solitude, realizing the importance of companionship in such journeys. This realization led me to collaborate with fellow artists over the years, organizing art shows that celebrated local talents. A decade later, I evolved further by opening my solo gallery to other female artists, offering representation and collective growth.
Now, as we approach the 2023 Studio Tour, I'm elated to represent all the talented women under my banner. I'm especially proud to introduce two shining stars, Donna Schwandt and Charlotte Schembri, as they make their debut. Here's to their journey, hopefully under clearer skies and definitely not alone!
