A dream come true

yes, i have not been quiet since i came to the Emerald City. and now i am finally seeing a dream coming true: my own private studio space!!

after looking for almost one month, I finally found this great space at the 1st floor of the Inscape building, in the Intl District, Seattle. it is cozy. it is well lit. it is perfect for all i have in mind. and it has green things outside! some minor things to be fixed, but not a big deal at all. my plans are to transform it in a place of celebration of the communion art + spirit. some workshops are already being designed to start very soon. stay tuned!

Raw Artists Showcase Seattle - July 2011 - Illuminare

My Seattle debut was nothing less than awesome and lots of fun! Unfortunately I had enough time to produce only 4 pieces (and in 12 days that was a record,) but very well received and praised, which was a great happiness. I had a great time not only enjoying the lively atmosphere but performing my first live painting presentation. Painting in public is fun, but feels a bit weird; the sensation is of feeling your creativity a bit restrained with so many people looking at you. Didn't do bad though and look forward for the next experience, which won't be long. Thanks to the Raw Artists organizers for being so sweet, attentive and dedicated to such a high level event, so pleasing for both artists and audience. I just loved to be there!!

Some pics of the event:

Moi and my first made in Seattle kids.

Working hard.

As soon as I have access to a decent scanner I will officially publish the new pieces, representatives of my new direction. :)
