hissy fit

blogger has been acting up, so i have not blogged in awhile....and i have some good news....i am going to be one of the featured artists at first friday in scanton pa this month.  i have not shown my work in long, long time, and i hope this is a new old door opening for me again....the thing i find the most ironic about this is i am a native new york, brooklyn born girl, and had to come to some small town to get my work shown again.  and another funny thing is they didn't want my new art, the altered, the books, the cards.....they wanted the old art quilts that i made over 20 years ago.....i have to say it is funny cuz 20 years ago the world at large didn't get art quilts....i remember the "little old lady church ladies" asking how i would ever wash them............duh......maybe in another 20 years they'll want the work i am working on now....i want to enter more of my work in publications, in shows, but i can't get to the business part of it.....i don't do "real business" well.....and the truth is i make art for me and no one else.....but i would just like people to see it....i don't care if they buy it or not, in any form......i sometimes wish i had an assistant/manager to push me to do what i know i can do....but somehow during the day can find a 100 reasons why i can't.....i am hoping that this friday will give me the push or maybe the word i am looking for is faith, courage, to carry on with my art......i think that is one of the reason's i choose small town, so i wouldn't get distracted....someone say an art prayer for me.....to make me not a better artist.....but my own best publicist.....
