The Shanti Arts competition results for ‘The Dance’ group exhibition are in and I’m pleased to say my painting ‘Cafe Cantantes’ has been accepted. The 30″ x40″ work on cradled wood panel has since been sold and is hanging in a lovely home in New Orleans, LA. So happy to have been selected to be part of this vibrant show.

Thinking beyond the canvas or flat panel can lead to some revelatory and rewarding endeavors. I’ve been playing guitar since I was a wee lass so szhooshing up a six string feels like the natural evolution of the instrument. In the past year I got my hands on a Snapdragon folding travel guitar and I absolutely love it. The tone and workmanship of this little workhorse is incomparable. The front was fitted in bamboo and it was nice but I thought I could put my own mark on it. I’m very happy with the result and it’s a real pleasure to play. If you’ve laid some paint on your own axe, follow my Facebook link and lay it on me! I’d love to see what other folks have done.
