Putting yourself out there


Last January I found myself focused on the long game. I immersed myself event deeper into the arts by volunteering at the local Arts Center, I took watercolor and acrylic painting classes, became a member to 3 galleries and joined the watercolor society. Having found these avenues of connecting into the arts opened more doors than I ever expected.



The Application & the dream


When the door opened to apply to the Artist in Residence program at the Olive Stack Gallery in Listowel, Ireland my heart could have leaped out of my chest! Dreaming of 2025 in Ireland was jet fuel. Is it something that could actually happen? Was I seen as "good enough to go"? So many questions, but I got to work, thinking, dreaming.



Space for dreaming


The open door of art has introduced me to a wide array of people. Saying yes to these new experiences has allowed me to make some terrific new friends. It just so happens one of those friends is Tracy. When we chatted about the opportunity to live and work in Ireland for a month, she jumped at the chance also!



You've been accepted!


Who knew that was going to happen so quick!? We found out that February 2025 is our time to shine in Listowel. So now as we finalize the last of our prep and packing, follow along for more updates!
